Year: Sophomore

Hometown: Lakeville, MN

Major: Transmedia

Minor: Film

Relationship Status: Recently single

HC: So, what do you want to do with your major?

JW: I have a few connections in Hollywood that I might pursue. I might want to go out there and learn the ropes and the behind the scenes of movies. I like writing, producing and editing my own short stories.

HC: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

JW: Just living the dream and traveling. Hopefully have a degree and maybe a girlfriend, potentially.

HC: Do you think your dream job could be in Hollywood?

JW: I guess my dream job would be a super famous and super rich cinematographer. Traveling all over and filming whatever I want to film.

HC: What do you do in your spare time?

JW: I work at the TV station (HBC) and make sport videos. I also work for a semi-truck racing team; I travel all around the U.S. to film their shows, do their commentary and play by play. For fun, I like to get into shenanigans with my friends.

HC: What is your favorite memory at WSU so far?

JW: It was the last night of my freshman year and a group of my friends were just chilling in the dorms, and we sat and talked about our memories of the year. It was fun because it was super chill and it was fun to reminisce.

HC: If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?

JW: Awkward, outgoing and charismatic.

HC: Describe the ideal/perfect date

JW: Okay, so we’re at a lake, cabin, or near the ocean, really anything with water would suffice. We would have a little candle lit dinner by the fire. It would take place in the fall so it’s chilly enough to wear a sweatshirt, but not too cold. Then after a fantastic dinner, we would go down on the dock or pier and sit there and talk about life. Then go back to the fire and talk and chill there. Maybe “Netflix and chill” for a bit, just kidding. Then when it’s time to go to bed, we would pull out a sleeping bag and sleep by the fire under the stars. I have this vision that when she is falling asleep she will have a little smile on her face then she will snore really loud but I wouldn’t care cause it would be cute.

HC: That is a very detailed date. Has it ever happened?

JW: Nah, I just dream quite heavily.

HC: What is your favorite pickup line?

JW: Usually just a simple “Want to make out?” goes a long way. But normally, I don’t really use pickup lines.

HC: If you could take any celebrity on a date, who would it be and why?

JW: Well, first would be T-Swift cause she is just straight up attractive. Danica Patrick would also be up there on that list. She was an indy car driver, now she’s a NASCAR driver.

HC: What is your ultimate guilty pleasure?

JW: Safe Haven is actually in my top three favorite movies. Its got everything you need in a movie! But my ultimate guilty pleasure would probably be finding nice clothes and shopping for nice clothes. I don’t really like to slump around much.

HC: Where is your favorite store to find these nice clothes?

JW: Topshop is always good. Also, this one store in San Francisco, I forgot the name of it, but I found jeans for only $17 and I was like “Woo my butt looks fantastic!”

HC: What is your biggest pet peeve?

JW: My biggest pet peeve is when someone wears improper shoes for the occasion. Like when someone wears tennis shoes with a suit or when your shoes don’t match your belt. If you want to know who a guy is, just look at his shoes and it will tell you a lot.

HC: Alright, have you ever played kill, marry, bang?

JW: Oh, absolutely!

HC: Taylor swift, Miley Cyrus, and Ariana Grande?

JW: Okay, kill Ariana Grande. I mean she spits on doughnuts, come on.  I would marry T Swift and totally do Miley Cyrus.

HC: Beyoncé, Katy Perry, and Shakira?

JW: Shakira, who even is Shakira?

HC: Hips don’t lie. I’ll pull up a picture.

JW: Oh, I would totally marry Shakira. If Russell Brand broke up with Katy Perry then she’s probably an awful person. So we will kill Katy, marry Shakira, and have fun with Beyonce.

HC: How do you feel about being nominated for this week’s campus cutie?

JW: Kind of weird. I told my mom about it and she hasn’t replied to me. So, I love you too, mom.
