Luke Friedli ’14

Year: Junior

Major: Microbiology

Hometown: Traverse City

Relationship status: Single

Hobbies: Playing guitar, singing, cooking, acting/film and laughing.

Organizations: I am currently the Vice President of the Lyman Briggs Student Advisory Council and a Cofounder of LIMSU, an organization based on student leadership and campus involvement.

Fun Fact: I drive a police car… I never get pulled over!

Song that best describes you: “Beautiful Day” by U2. I try to make the most out of every day even when it’s tough.

Biggest pet peeves: I can’t stand people who are rude or don’t use their manners. I also don’t like smoking, that’s not attractive.

Favorite place on campus: The lecture hall in the Vet Med building. Haha I’m totally kidding … probably Spartan Stadium.

Coolest place you have been: I love traveling, so that’s a tough question. But I’ve been to Australia and the Great Barrier Reef, so that was definitely a favorite trip!

Most embarrassing moment: In high school I managed to get locked inside my own car. It was during the winter and by the time I got to school, the doors had frozen themselves shut. I had to call for help so I could get out.

Favorite bus route: Hmm that’s a close call. I’d have to say the 26 route.

Describe your perfect date: Weather permitting, we would spend the day at a private beach on Lake Michigan. After getting to the beach, I would surprise her with a carefully hand-drawn map. We would then go on a little scavenger hunt and she would find cute miscellaneous things that I had previously buried in the sand. The map would eventually lead us to a secluded area where we would enjoy a picnic that I would pack for us. We could just spend time talking and enjoying each other’s company. Then after a while, I would challenge her to a sand castle building contest. Assuming she’s really cute, I might let her win. We would then watch the sunset on the water. If she’s up for it, we could stop for ice cream on the way home.

Dream job: I’m Pre-Med… my goal has always been to become a doctor. If that doesn’t work out, my backup plan is working at one of those KFC/Taco Bell combination restaurants.

Words you live by: Live well. Laugh often. Love much.
