How you would describe yourself: I consider myself a fun-loving SOB who enjoys making sweet music more than anything.

Describe the perfect morning: Waking up to my stunning girlfriend, Sophie, standing over me with a fat Chipotle burrito. I munch that, then I open my laptop, crank the tunes, and check last night’s sports highlights.

 

Who would play you and your friends in a Lifetime movie based off of your life: I think Andy Milonakis would do a great impersonation of me. Just my opinion though…. Michael Cera would play my friend Will, Verne Troyer would do a great Gil Spivack, and Leo Dicaprio would do a nice Samuel Henry Polito.

 

Favorite TV show: Breaking Bad

What will you miss most about Bates: The availability of help whenever I need it from peers and professors.

 

Design your final meal if you were on Death Row: A thick juicy steak dipped in guac. I’d have a root beer float next to that and my mom’s delicious homemade bread.

 

Best place you’ve ever been: Upstairs in commons

 

Hunter or gatherer: Definitely a gatherer.

 

Words of wisdom for underclassmen: Let it be.
