Campus Life:

What’s your favorite class you have taken at the U?  Novels and Films: Nature vs. Virtuality with Alf Seegart by far, that dude is awesome.

Best study spot?  The deepest, darkest corner of the library.

Best place to meet girls?  I wish I knew.

What’s your best U of U memory?  The great deck collapse of 2012.

Dating Life:

Biggest turn on?  A bright, kind smile and a girl that beats me up the mountain.

Biggest turn off?  Being someone you’re not to impress me.

What do you look for in a girl?  Loves to do and is great at thinking up totally random things to do on a daily basis.  Someone who never wants to stop playing, and finds and brings out the best in herself and those around her!

Describe your ideal date.  Ditching our phones and going off the grid. Preferably in a place with a high perch and or waterfall feature of sorts.

What’s your favorite pick up line?  “Hello m’lady, may I implore you to join me in attending the function this evening?” … works every time.

What’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for a girl?  One time I took my mom to a Katy Perry concert. I think she rather liked that.

What’s a girl trend you hate/don’t understand?  When they say, “Fetch,” it’s never going to happen.

U of U girls are the best because…  Of their ability to withstand sub-zero temperatures while at the same time looking damn adorable doing it!
