What’s your major? “Well I have absolutely no idea what to say here. I mean there’s a suggestion box outside my door (Spotswood 213) if anyone wants to help a brother out. (Only suggestion I will not take: women’s studies. Already an expert.)”
What are you involved in on campus? “I’m on the Standards Board in Sigma Phi Epsilon. I’m also a Monroe Scholar working on a research project.”
Who is a fictional character you’d love to take to dinner? “Thumbelina. I feel like she wouldn’t eat much and I could finish her food.”
How do you like your eggs cooked? Scrambled.
Blonde or brunette? Blonde
What is your favorite quality in a girl? “Probably her being as complicated as possible. You just have to be a mind reader. It’s not that hard. She says she’s sad? A rose and a bagel. She says she’s “fine?” Tea and back massage. She says she’s happy? Fruit snacks and a jam sesh to some of Billboard’s top forties pop songs.”
Do you have any hidden talents? “Not sure if it’s a talent or a weakness, but I would probably forgive anyone anything. I can’t stand being mad at someone almost as much as I can’t stand someone being mad at me, no matter how well I actually know you. I’m old school for the whole kiss-and-make-up bit, guess that’s the best part of fighting.”
What is your favorite thing about W&M? “The fact that they actually accepted me. Some schools didn’t exactly do that. Plus it’s sunny a lot here. I like wearing sunglasses.”
