Year at NU: Freshman, don’t hate
Major: Mechanical Engineering with a Biomedical Engineering Minor
Hometown: Georgetown, MA (Not DC!)
Relationship Status: Single

Where you can find me:
Slacklining outside of Shillman if it’s a nice day.

My motto:
You can’t make a friend unless you talk to a stranger.

Secret talents:
I can beat the cinnamon challenge. I won a glass of expensive scotch for doing it one time.

Where I can be found on a Saturday night:
Either at the NUHOC lodge in NH, perusing Boston for a good concert, or playing some knee hockey with the guys in the Light Hall basement.

What I want to do after graduation: I’m considering going to graduate school for neuroscience, but if not that then I would love to live in a Nordic country like Iceland or Denmark for a few years. Not sure what I’ll do there, but I love that area of the world.

What I’m involved with at NU:
I started the Biomedical Engineering club last semester with two other engineers and am currently Vice-President. We’re really trying to push administration to make it a major, and the club, along with being a great organization on its own, has really shown them that there’s a demand for the major. I also go on a lot of NUHOC trips to get some fresh mountain air and chill with some of the coolest people on campus.

Turn-on/Deal maker:
Good mix of modesty and confidence. If a girl looks stunning while rocking the pants and long-sleeves on Halloween, then she’s got a good shot with me.
Turn-off/Deal breaker:
Excessive texting

How a girl can capture and maintain my interest:
Smile. I’m a sucker for smiles.

What is the cutest Halloween costume a girl can wear and why?
To be honest I have always been a fan of the nurse costume. But I’m a guy, so I’m completely satisfied with anything including spandex and a pretty smile.

What’s the best thing about girls at UK?
The best thing about UK girls is by far the variety here on campus. I truly believe that the girls at UK are by far better than any other girl at any other campus. There isn’t just one standard type of girl here, but many different ones. The best part is they all have qualities that are special to them and only them. And besides, UK girls are all absolutely gorgeous.

What is your most prized possession?
My most prized possession is by far my football jersey from my high school season. Football was, and always will be, a large part of my life. I started playing in the fourth grade and continued to until I graduated high school. But what really makes this so important to me is the memories and friends that came with it. I met almost entirely all of my childhood friends through football.

What is the craziest dare you’ve ever gone through?
One of the craziest dares I’ve done that I can actually share wasn’t really a dare but just one of those late-night ideas that sounded good at the moment. Two good friends and I went to see a movie a few towns over and ran into a few of our friends already there. After the movie was over we had the great idea of having a race home. We took the interstate home and were in second place of only two cars when they kept driving steady with a semi so we couldn’t pass. Our exit was getting close and we were determined not to lose, so we had the brilliant idea of passing on the shoulder. We were going well over the speed limit AND driving on the shoulder, when we saw the bit of roadwork that was happening up a head. So we had to go even faster, and cut off both the semi and the other car just to not wreck. We barely made it and had three grown men in the car screaming like second grade girls. It could, perhaps, be the closest to death I’ve ever been.

Why should people vote you Mr. UK Freshman?
I was raised in a small town where the ideas of family, close friends, and religion were drilled into everyone’s childhood. I think that even after I have left my small town and moved to Lexington I still stick to these principles. As a student my grades are well above average, and my personal involvement is also another large part of my life here at UK. I’m a friendly guy, and am always up to a new challenge. And I would greatly appreciate your vote in my hopes to be the first Mr. UK Freshman.

Why do you think you would be a great Mr. George Mason Freshman 2015?

The Greeks, in which my mother participated as Alpha Delta Pi at her university, athletics in which I am a member of the Men’s Volleyball Team, and most importantly academics. I may come from Pennsylvania but George Mason University is my home. Thank you for the nomination, Go Patriots!

Program/Year: Criminology, 2015
Hometown: Oshawa, ON
Relationship Status: Single and ready to mingle ;)

Tell me a little bit about yourself.
I’m an overall easy-going guy who likes to hang out and have fun. I like video games, especially Skyrim and food, a lot. I also like to party.

Tell me something random about you that not many people know.
I really hate when people bite clothing material, like the drawstrings on a sweater. Teeth on clothing just makes me go weird, it’s been like that since I was little.

What compliment do you get most about yourself?
I’d probably have to say that I have nice eyes. I hear that a lot.

What is the first thing you say/do to get a girl’s attention?
I’d probably wink at them or something. Anytime I’ve been out at a club or something and saw a girl I was attracted to, a wink always seems to follow.

Describe your ideal girl.
I’d have to say that my ideal girl is one with some curves, along with a pretty face and nice eyes. Personality wise, a little bit geeky, so liking video games would be great. Also, a girl who is fun to be around, and who is up for adventures and willing to try new things. Having an open mind is important.

What is the cutest thing you’ve done for a girl?
Back in high school, I surprised my girlfriend of a year who went to a different high school by putting flowers and chocolates in her locker, after I had told her that I wouldn’t be able to see her that day.

What flavour of lip gloss do you like best on a girl?
I think it’s an Aquafina brand or something. It has a really cool, minty taste that I really like.

What is your ideal first date?
Definitely out somewhere like Wonderland going on rollercoasters, or watching a good zombie movie.

Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?
This is a question I’ve asked myself a lot lately. I’m looking into becoming a paralegal, and then a lawyer after that.

Describe yourself in three words.
Silly, outgoing, and adventurous.

How has moving away from home changed your relationship with your family?
I’m still really close with my family, maybe more so than I was when I lived at home. I definitely appreciate them more now. I’m a bit of a Momma’s boy, so I definitely appreciate everything my family has done for me.

What is your take on floorcest?
If both of you are willing to face the awkward consequences if it doesn’t work out, then go for it. Just remember if you break up, you don’t want drama to occur.

What is your favourite memory from first year/living in res.
Definitely shaking Spenny’s hand from Kenny vs. Spenny, that was amazing. Also, meeting all the awesome people that I have.

What is your favourite sports team?
The Toronto Maple Leafs. I’m a true Leafer, they’ve always been my team. I wouldn’t be a true fan if I ditched them.

If you had to pick any animal to describe you, what would you pick and why?
Definitely a lion, I like to think of myself as brave and courageous.

Last words for female readers:
Never set anyone as being out of your league or on a pedestal, because anyone can wind up with anyone else regardless of looks or other factors.

Hey ladies, if you wear minty lip gloss, Connor could be interested in a smooch from you! ;)

Why should our readers vote for you as Mr. Texas Freshman?
You should vote for me because I A), have amazing person hygiene, B), have awesome taste in music and clothes, C), can throw a frisbee like you wouldn’t believe, and D), can serenade you to your heart’s desire. I could go on, but I wouldn’t want to make you read too much. Oh yeah, and I have blue eyes.

Which Disney princess is hottest and why?
I’d have to say that Ariel is that hottest, post-fish of course. Despite how strange it is to even think of a Disney princess in that way. I kinda have a thing for red heads and I’m a big fan of bikinis, believe it or not…
UT girls are best because… UT girls are the best because they’re from Texas! They always know how to have a good time and keep it classy, (for the most part). Not to mention, they’re usually half genius, which is actually a turn on for me. There’s a reason I go to UT, and it’s not for the weather.

What do you think girls should look for in a good boyfriend?
I think/hope that girls look for a guy that’s funny, understanding, caring, and just nice overall. On the physical side, tall, blonde, and blue eyes? Who could ask for more. Plus, who can resist a musician who will serenade them on demand? That’s always been a plus for me.

What are the best qualities a parent could share with their children and why?
The most important thing a parent teaches their child is to have some kind of self confidence or self worth. If you don’t grow up believing in yourself, then you probably won’t start any time soon. And if you aren’t confident, you won’t take any risks. And I believe that like is all about risks.

What are your goals and ambitions in life?
My biggest goal in life involves my music and being able to support myself and my future family off of it. However, if that doesn’t ever come through, I’m working on my Mechanical Engineering degree so I’ll have some kind of boring life to fall back on. That being said, I plan on being happy and supporting my family in the end no matter what.
