Describe your Kenyon experience in a word:

A ride.

Best night out at Kenyon?

Derp a derp derp….first semester this year, EDM semiformal.  Good people. Good fun.

JOE that was the night I broke my ankle!

[Convulsions of laughter at my expense] Oops….I didn’t break your ankle though!

Dream vacation?

Going to Melbourne for a week and going to the Australian Open.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Honestly what I really want to be doing in 10 years is studying Maori in New Zealand.  They’re the main indigenous population in New Zealand.

Celebrity crushes?

Jennifer Lawrence.

If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?

Flying. That’s so cliché but whatever. I’d get a new perspective on the world.  And cost of travel would go waaaay down.

Weirdest Kenyon experience?

Having a 15 minute conversation with John Green, and then he left, and then I realized he was John Green.

Most recommended YouTube video?

Desert Rain Frog…IT SQUEAKS

Listening to right now?

I went to the Owl Creeks concert and someone sang My Blood and I really liked it so I’ve been listening to that whole album by Ellie Goulding.

If you sat on a plane for a transatlantic flight next to Novak Djokovic what would you do?

[He squees] I would die! No, don’t write that.  I wouldn’t actually die. I would probably fangirl a little bit, not gonna lie.  Autographs, photos, and yeah I don’t even know.  I’m just saying things now but I don’t know what extremes I would go to.  I don’t think I would be able to talk.

If you could be reincarnated as any animal, what would it be and why?

A Quokka.  It’s a little tiny furry animal that basically smiles all the time.

What are you NOT looking forward to?

The next four weeks of intense homework stuff.

What are you looking forward to?

Summer in Gambier (shout out to Summa Gamma Beta).

Favorite qualities for a significant other?

Fun lovin’, sense of humor, energetic, like to eat.

Final notes on Cuteness?

Kenyon Bucket List:

Eat dinner at a certain classics professor’s house.  So that. I also want to take a Suggs anthropology class.  And now I’m going to say fun things so don’t worry. OH! Go back to the Cove!!! I mean the Caves!!! The Caves!!! You need to correct that!!!!
