This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bucknell chapter.
Hometown: Bristol, Pa (near Philadelphia)
Major: Chemical Engineering
Class Year: 2013
Although he is now an enthusiastic member of the Sojka psychos, this week’s campus cutie was originally set to go to the University of Dayton. After attending Accepted Students Day, Mark Paleafico fell in love with the campus he now calls home.
The Basics:
Favorite Book: Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephen Chobsky
Favorite Movie: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Favorite store: Gap, I got my favorite T-shirt ever at Gap. It is just a plain, gray T-shirt, but it is so comfortable.
Most played song on your ipod: Anything by Guster
Favorite Class at Bucknell: Accounting with Curtis Nichols
Favorite aspect of Bucknell: The people. Everyone I have met has been different and interesting. There are always the stereotypical Bucknell girls or Bucknell guys, but you actually get to know them.
Campus Activities: I am an RA, and a member of Chi Phi. I was the new member educator, but next semester I will move into recruitment chair. I am a big fan of community service and philanthropy. I am the President of Bucknell’s chapter of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIC). I am involved with the ChemE Car competition. You have to make a car that fits inside of a shoebox, and it starts and stops based on a chemical reaction. I participate in a lot of intramurals, but I am really looking forward to basketball in the spring.
Campus Posse: Well, Liz Yale. My Hall, Smith 3A (where I am an RA).
Favorite place on Campus: Technically off campus, but Campus Theatre.
Favorite HerCampus Blogger: Jenni Whalen
General Interests: Big sports guy. I like to watch basketball and soccer when I can. I love college basketball as a whole. I also like to watch really poorly made horror films. For example, Thankskilling which is a really low budget and badly made horror flick.
Little Known Fact: Secretly, I really enjoy chick flicks. Particularly, When Harry Met Sally.
Girls, Girls, Girls:
Relationship Status: Single
What you look for in a girl: Someone who can keep up with my dry, sarcastic, witty sense of humor.
Female turnoff: Smoking. I will stop talking to a girl if I find out that she smokes. I can’t handle it.
Celebrity Crush: Zooey Deschanel
The Best of the Rest:
Proudest Accomplishment: Being Campus Cutie of the Week.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years: Ideally, married. Kid. And a job, and a house. A car that runs. Nothing too fancy, just simple happy. I really like the Philadelphia area, so the suburbs of Philly.
