Brandon Sleik ’14
            
Name: Brandon Sleik
Year: Second Year Freshman
Status: Quite happy, thanks for asking. How are you?
Hometown: Naperville, Illi anois aka “the dirty 6-30”
Major: Double Major in English and German
Motto: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover…a quote by Mark Twain
Campus Activities: Hitting the books, being a diehard Hawkeyes fan, but most importantly just enjoying the best years of my life.
Fun Fact: Hippo milk is pink 
Favorite music: I love all kinds of music from Mozart to Kid Cudi
Favorite Hawkeye sports to watch: Kinnick Stadium is my sanctuary. I also support my Hawks at a lot of basketball and volleyball games.
Favorite thing about Iowa: I love it when it so cold that my lungs hurt when I breathe
Favorite hangout spot: If I’m not in mine or a friend’s room lounging about, I’m at the union. (the IMU, not downtown)
It really confuses me when girls at Iowa… think they need to wear short skirts when it’s -20 outside. Put some jeans on, it’s ok.
My idea of a perfect first date: Bleacher tickets for a Cubs game. I get to enjoy baseball, and she gets to enjoy getting some sun. If she’s a baseball fan, that’s a plus.
