I grew up in Allentown, Pa. Yep, it's the place the Billy Joel song is named after. But it is really like anywhere else-lots of Applebee's, TGI Friday's, malls, movie theaters and some random cow-tipping for fun. ... Wait, did I just say that. But seriously, if you are ever there, go to the Farmer's Market and try the wet bottom shoofly pie. It's a Pennsylvania Dutch dessert that blows my mind every time.

What's your major and why?

I haven't declared yet, but I will soon be an econ and European studies double major. Oh, and I dabble in pre-med courses. I don't really like them, but medicine is en vogue, kind of like Urban Outfitters. So I figure what's a little Kreb's Cycle and spectroscopy now for a job I want later.

When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you think?

Holy shit, I have red hair.

Do you have any siblings?

Yes, I have a brother named Alex.

What's your relationship with him like?
