Name: Henry Fiertz
Hometown: London
Year: 1st Year
Relationship Status: …one of us thinks we are in a relationship
Major: Undecided
Activities around grounds: Maxing, relaxing, it ain’t too taxing
Best spot for a first date: Tough question. Different girls mean different spots.  In a generic sense, a date function is ideal as you get to introduce her to all your boys.
If I could be reborn as anybody it would be: Johnny Depp
If I could date a Disney Princess I would date: Don’t get me confused for a zoophile, but I would love to go on a date in the African planes with Nala…just saw her come to life in the third dimension and I can’t get her out of my mind…it would be a completely platonic relationship of course.
Work Out Routine: I feel like I wasted many years going the gym on a regular basis so I only do a gym sesh to blow off some steam when school life gets overwhelming. There comes a day in a guy’s life where you just got to realize that you will never be “Mr. Chiseled Abs Guy”
Favorite thing about a girl is her: Head. Admittedly though, some features are more important than others. Eyes – big deal. Nose – she’s gotta have one.
Most Embarrassing Moment: My most embarrassing moment is definitely not going to beat the censors and I feel if I try to sell you another story as my most embarrassing, it would be a cop out.
Something most people don’t know about me: I know how to handle my sword…at the age of 9 I was ranked number 2 in the foil category of British Fencing.
