The first thing I notice about a girl is… Her hair. Love every style, length, AND COLOR ;)
My ideal date would be… Preparing a light breast of chicken marinated for 6 hours to perfection in my family’s secret recipe then breaded in fine italian crumbs. The sides of the meal don’t matter because before we could even finish the chicken we’re already lost in conversation, talking of doing something spontaneous. We’d immediately rush to my jeep, sun roof open of course, and speed off (safely) towards an adventure you’ve always wanted to go on but haven’t yet.
 
Best place to study at JMU… Best place? The quad. To actually study? Somewhere very, very far from campus.
 
JMU girls are the best because… of their class and confidence. They stand out 10 times to none when compared to women of any other fine learning establishment.
 
3 words that best describe you: Outgoing, focused, level-headed.
