Words to live by: What’s meant to be will always find a way.  Also, Go Cubs, Go Bulls, and Go Bears!

Fun Fact: Ilove Christmas time!  The cold, the snow, the lights, the music and hot chocolate!  I wish Christmas
time was all year round.  I am also a HUGE Chicago sports fan. 

Favorite Music: I love country, especially during the summertime.  I also LOVE Lady Gaga, Miranda Lambert, John Mayer and Taylor Swift.  I could keep going…but I won’t.

Favorite Hang-out Spot at Iowa: I live with 8 of my best friends, so my house!  (The house of 9).  If I’m not at home, I would probably like to be at Brothers.

It annoys me when guys at Iowa…: assume all girls are the same. 

If I could travel anywhere in the world it would be: Venice, Italy, my all time favorite place on earth.  Or Disney World!  I would be happy there too! 

My idea of a perfect first date: Apple picking on a perfect fall day, or ice skating downtown Chicago.

Peter Frankman is an underclassman at the University of Iowa from Burbank, California. He has a few addictions in his life: writing, reading, heavy metal, Adult Swim, and any movie with zombies. He joined The University of Iowa's Her Campus team as the writer of the "From a Guy's Perspective" articles in January 2011 and hasn't looked back since (except to make sure he doesn't write the same article twice). Peter's a major in both Journalism and Creative Writing and hopes to become a writer in some way, shape or form after he graduates. That or the President of the United States, he hasn't really focused too much to say anything decisive yet... or maybe he has, we're not quite sure. If he had to choose a night of guilty pleasures it would include the Beastie Boys, Monster Import: Light, Zebra Cakes, and a marathon of subpar movies that he thinks are amazing (Blade, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Fast and the Furious, etc).
