HCUO: Does anyone call you by any pet names?
Ty: I did have one girlfriend who insisted on calling me every pet name under the rainbow. Anywhere from bear to bug to bean…Sad to say, I enjoyed every one of those nicknames!

HCUO: What do you think is the best age to marry?
Ty: I always saw myself getting married a few years after college, between 24 and 26. Got to have a steady job before that happens, though, since Papa Tostenson can’t pay the bills my whole life!

HCUO: If you had a ridiculous amount of money, where would you go on vacation?
Ty: I’d go someplace warm: a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I’m talking about a little place called Aspen.

HCUO: Do you play any sports?
Ty: I played baseball and football throughout high school and a couple years of baseball at a junior college in Elk Grove, California. I could swing the bat pretty well, but had a weak arm, so the coaches threw me out in left field.  

HCUO: When someone around you is sad, how do you react?
Ty: When someone around me is sad, I usually go for a hug…but if the mood is right, I share my Cap’n Crunch with them.

HCUO: What is your biggest ambition in life?
Ty: One day, I’ll be a general manger of a Major League Baseball team. Hit me up if you want tickets!

HCUO: If your friend was cheating on their lover, would you tell them to stop?
Ty: I’d tell my friend to stop being a tool and to just break up with his girlfriend. Why have a girlfriend if you’re looking for other girls?

HCUO: What is your favorite movie scene and why?
Ty: My favorite movie scene is in Toy Story 3 when all the toys are in the dump and are about to be burnt and they look at each other with tears in their eyes. It gets me every time! It would be sad except for (SPOILER ALERT) they all survive and go on to live happy toy lives.

HCUO: How do you cope with break-ups?
Ty: I cope with breakups by calling my mommy…and watching Toy Story. Duh.

HCUO: What’s the craziest dare you’ve ever gone through with?
Ty: This winter term, I streaked with my buddy through our apartment complex when it snowed in the middle of the night. Note to everyone reading: don’t streak with flip-flops on. It will result in slipping on ice, hitting your head, and passing out naked in the snow with a concussion.

HCUO: What’s something you’d like to say to the collegiettes™ reading Her Campus?
Ty: You all say you’re looking for a “nice” guy, for someone to treat you right. Honestly, I think this is a load of hogwash. You end up with the tools that treat you like poop and don’t treat you how should be treated. Give the nice guys a chance, because tools are lame!   

A University of Oregon junior and San Francisco native, Charmaine Ng loves authentic noodle dishes and will always opt for Asian and Italian cuisine when pressed to choose a restaurant. She is a self-proclaimed "noodler," someone who uses her noodle to collaborate with others and bring big ideas to life. She interns for a student-run full-service ad agency, blogs for a wedding and event planning company, and runs the UO Muggle Quidditch League. In her spare time, she sleeps, and sleeps, and sleeps - and dabbles in social media and blogging, her two biggest passions. Her quirkiness isn't apparent at first, but then she starts talking about packaging design and making funny faces, and you wonder what happened to that shy Asian girl you first met. With ambition bursting beyond the campus walls, Charmaine can't wait to graduate and work for an agency, company, or publication in community outreach efforts using social media.
