Campus Cutie: Avi Sachs, 2016

Name: Avi Sachs

Year: 2016

Major: Either Chemistry or Biology

Hometown: Annandale, Virginia

Music Style: A lot of things, a huge fan of hip hop. Which is ironic since I’m a white guy from the burbs. Alternative rock. Electronic and classical too, but mostly the first two.

Favorite Movies: A lot of cerebral movies and heist movies: Snatch and Black Swan are two good examples.

Greatest accomplishment: I’ve gotten two summer internships at the National Cancer Institute. It’s one of the most important things I’ve done. Other than that, I’m an Eagle Scout. That’s kinda chill.

Where can you be found on a typical weekend? Hanging out in Barrett, going out with friends, hanging out on campus with a smile on my face. Hanging out at swem..rarely.

Describe your typical day at W&M: Wake up, go to my 9ams, work hard through classes (or at least attempt to), play Fifa with friends, go to swem and get work done, then go home and watch movies or tv. I also spend a lot of time in my research lab for bio.

Have any pets? Nope. My mom is terrified of animals. I used to have a lot of goldfish.

Favorite Holiday: Big fan of Passover. Passover is pretty chill. Thanksgiving too, lot’s of food and family.

Play any instruments? I do, actually. I played piano for 10 years and also trumpet. I picked up ukulele. And I also fiddle around with guitar. Ukulele and piano are my top two

Play any sports? I was a track runner in high school.

Ideal Girl:

Hair color?: Brunette, definitely.

Tall or short: Not too tall, maybe a bit shorter than me

Nice eyes or nice smile: Eyes are a huge kicker for me. I like big, brown eyes

Girl in sweats or in a dress: Ooohh, that’s a tough question. Obviously dress but there’s a certain appeal to a girl in sweats. But I’ll go with dress, the classier side of it.

Worst thing a girl can wear? I’m really not into Goth. It’s a tough one for me to figure out. But respect to those people. Anything studded….too edgy for me.

Best thing a girl can wear? Hipster kind of girls.

What do you prefer, a girl who plays an instrument or a sport? Definitely instrument. Music speaks to the soul, it says something.

Least favorite thing about girls at W&M? They walk around in these little clusters, and it’s very intimidating.

First thing you notice about a girl? Eyes.

————

Night in or night out?  Night out, most def.

If you could have any super power, what would it be? It would be cool to turn into any animal. Pretty useful one I would say.

Ideal first date? I like going out an seeing things. Maybe going to the zoo or art museum, and then lunch at a cafe. Definitely not a movie, that’s such a cop out.

Random hookups or meaningful relationship? Meaningful relationship. That’s what every guy really wants…or else you’re not a real man.

Most annoying phrases girls say? It’s not really phrases, but the constant abbreviations of stuff.  Things like “obvi” or “adorbs.” Adorbs is the worst.

Favorite thing about William & Mary: It’s a really beautiful, rustic campus. I’m not really down with the whole southern university, but W&M isn’t like that.

Pet names – cute or annoying?: No good.

How do you feel about PDA?: Uhh, I don’t know. People can kind of do what they want. It’s way worse in high school when it’s physically blocking your movement. If you want to express yourself and you’re in love or think you’re in love, I won’t stop you. Personally, I’d opt for a more private option.

Romantic or thriller movie when you take a girl out on a date: No doubt, thriller. I hate rom-coms, I can’t do them. I’ll tolerate a rom com if i have to, but if I’m choosing it’ll be a thriller.

Girliest movie you’ve ever watched?: The one girly movie I’ve ever watched is Mean Girls. And that was back when Lindsay Lohan was hot.

If you had one last day to live, what would you do?: I definitely want to see the bottom of the ocean. I wanna know what’s going on down there! That could end really horribly though.

If you could add an event to the triathlon, what would it be? Stealing a petrie dish from the ISC.

If a girl makes the first move, do you like it or not?: Oh, absolutely! It makes my job a lot easier. Like I said earlier, I’m not super reserved but I’m also not in your face.

What song would you sing when serenading a girl?: Either More Than Words – Extreme or

Mack the Knife – Bobby Darin

(The following question was thought up by Avi:)

Samurai or ninja?: Definitely samurai. Ninja’s are cool but they lack honor.
