So. You’ve been named Campus Cutie this week, how do you feel?
Confused, but flattered. 
 
In your opinion, what’s the biggest dating mistake girls make?
 Hmm, girls usually do pretty well, I’m always the one making the mistakes. One thing that does irk me is a girl who is constantly checking her phone or texting. Even if I’m a bad date, they should try and live in the moment more. 
 
 Sloths or pandas?
 Pandas for sure.The color scheme is pretty sexy, and they know kung fu. Plus, I hate laziness.
 
If you were a male model like Derek Zoolander, what would be the name of your most famous “look?” (Derek Zoolander’s was called “Magnum”)?
Who is Derek Zoolander…? I would call my look “The Thinker” and dedicate it to Rodin’s famous sculpture of the same name. 
 
You walked through your closet and ended up in Narnia. What do you see?
Probably the lamp post. Isn’t that what all the other children saw? 
 
So you’re favorite sport is basketball. What would your nickname be if you played in the NBA?
 They would probably call me “Asian Kwame Brown” because I would be a bona fide scrub who has small hands.

In your opinion, we should all…:
 We should all stop saying how bad we are at math and pretend that is a legitimate excuse to avoid it. That’s like me saying I’m illiterate because reading isn’t my thing. 
 
What’s the opportunity cost of you doing this interview?
Haha, well considering I have a midterm on Friday, my next best use of this time would probably be confusing myself with functional analysis in the Reg. Either that or missing freethrows at Ratner.
