From fly-fishing to partying with his ΔΤΔ brothers, Will Seidel seems to always be on the move. When he’s not mixing tunes or enjoying the lovely outdoors, you can find Will in the stands cheering on the Kenyon Field Hockey team (go Ladies!) or in the library working on his comps (yes, he works hard and plays hard). Though this Vineyard Vines-clad gentleman has already found his “fish in the sea.” so to speak, he will still smile and maybe (if you’re lucky) give you a wink from behind those mysterious Croakies of his.

What’s on your Kenyon Bucket List:
I want to drink wine at Sunset Point. It doesn’t matter what kind of wine it is…but I have to kill the bottle. Or the box.
What’s your ideal date—either on or off campus?
I’d start by teaching her how to fly fish, and then I’d cook her a nice dinner from the fish that we’d caught.
Three things you look for in a girl?
1) Someone who can improve me as a person, 2) someone who is really friendly and caring, and 3) someone who likes to have fun and pushes me out of my comfort zone.
If you could be any Peirce dessert, which one would you be?
Definitely one of those Peirce cookies & cream milkshakes that you have to make yourself

“Ball till you fall”
Uh, what would this “Ball till you fall” theme entail?
The songs “Always Strapped” and “Go Get it” might help explain it.
[Interviewer’s added fun fact. The Vineyard Vine’s (http://www.vineyardvines.com) founders went to Will’s high school. No wonder he’s so in style! So ladies (and gentlemen) if you’re ever looking for a discount…]
