Name: Alexander Longshaw

Year: 2014

Major: Physics
 
Hometown: Manchester, England
 
  • Across The Pond
HCTX: What are your favorite English phrases?
AL: My favorite phrases would have to be jolly good, bloody hell, and cheers!
 
HCTX: What are the biggest differences between here and England?
AL: The weather is definitely different. It rains a lot more in England, and it’s colder, which I prefer. People in England tend to dress a lot more formally as well. And the humor; English humor is really dry and sarcastic.
 
  • Fun Facts
HCTX: What is your favorite place on campus?
AL: I like hanging out in the six-pack between classes, especially when it’s a nice day and I can just take a nap.
 
HCTX: What is the soundtrack to your life?
AL: “Wish You Were Here,” by Pink Floyd
 
HCTX: Pick one- Tiff’s Treats or Amy’s Ice Cream?
AL: Definitely Amy’s Ice Cream
 
  • The Romance
HCTX: What is the first thing you notice about girls?
AL: The first thing I notice about girls are their eyes and their smile.
 
HCTX: What is your ideal date?
AL: My ideal date would probably depend on what she likes, definitely something that we would both enjoy; maybe go for a hike then have a picnic, or maybe a fancy dinner. Or I guess I could try cooking for her, but I can’t cook that well.
 
HCTX: Which Disney Princess would you choose to take out on a date?
AL: Probably Ariel. But only if I got to hang out with Sebastian.
 
HCTX: Anything else you want the ladies of UT to know?
AL: Feel free to ask me to say British things, but I will not say, “Hello, I’m Harry Potter.” Mainly because they never say that in any of the books or movies, yet people still continue to ask me to say that.
