What’s your guilty pleasure? “Jersey Shore marathons. I can’t watch just one, I have to wait for the marathon.”
 
What extracurricular activities are you involved in? “I play Ultimate Frisbee, I’m a brother of Alpha Delta Phi, and I’m in a band called Poor Remy. I’m also a Beer and Sex advisor.”
 
 
Thoughts on Nicki Minaj? “I would invite her to perform at my wedding.”
 
Where’s your favorite place to study? “My least favorite place is Gund Commons— a.k.a Gunderworld—but it sucked my soul away long ago, so I kind of belong there.”
 
I’ve heard you’re a great sous chef.  “If you put me in apron I’ll do just about anything.”
 
How do you like your eggs? “Fertilized.”
 
What’s the best class you’ve taken at Kenyon? “Achilles’ Children with Perry Lentz. I showed up at 8:10 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of my freshman year; he was such a good teacher, they named a building after him and he didn’t even pay for it. The class was based on the classics, and it inspired to me to name my firstborn daughter Penelope. And I don’t mean that as subtext for wanting to have kids right now, so back off, ladies.”
 
Dinner at the Kenyon Inn on Valentine’s Day: Sweet or trite? “Even if the seafood is fresh, don’t order it. That alone will determine if it’s a romantically fulfilling night.”
 
What are your thoughts on Heidegger’s “question of being”? “Question everything except for being.”
 
Describe your style. “Comfortable and whatever’s at arm’s reach from my bedside. Sometimes I’ll throw on a collared shirt for the weekends. I’m a big fan of formal Fridays.”
 
What’s a deal breaker in a relationship? “Socks and sandals.”
 
Has anyone ever asked you if your full name is Kenyon? “Yeah. I paid for this school so they named it after me.”

Caroline Black is a senior Drama major at Kenyon College. In addition to co-founding and writing for her school's HC branch, Caroline is co-president of Beer and Sex, Kenyon's student-run freshman orientation program (and she enjoys making jokes about that title as much as you do). When she's not doing hippy-dippy acting warm-ups or volunteering with her service organization, The Archon Society, Caroline enjoys watching "Parks and Recreation" and dismaying her friends with terrible puns.
