What is your best physical trait?
My butt.  It’s exceptionally large but deceptively firm.

Pitbull
Who’s your celebrity crush?

Describe your ideal Date.
First Date: Something fun.  Grabbing a coffee or an ice cream, anything casual where we can hang out and get to know each other.  Too formal might scare her away (learned that the hard way, tough). If I make it to the second date, this is key, snagging second dates are huge: I love dinners.  Taking a girl I like out to dinner let’s me show her I want to treat her to something nice. Â
Favorite song: Â Cheerleader (Felix Jaehn Remix) by OMI
Favorite movie: Holes

Most exciting moment of your life:
Aside from getting recruited to Harvard, probably moving to Miami sophomore year of High School from San Francisco.
Most embarrassing moment of your life:
In 4th grade when everyone was wondering who pooped in the community pool, it was me.
What is your quirkiest trait?
I walk with a bounce in my step, probably the ass. Liz Byrne calls it Hop-Walking.
At any given moment, you are most likely to be found where on campus?
The Smith Campus center, because as a student center, it has so many things you can do with your friends.
