What is your major? Majors?
I’ve switched majors quite a few times, but it looks as if I will end up with something that would resemble a triple major/triple minor. The areas of emphasis are Theater, Communications, Education, Health, Liberal studies, and Women’s Studies. I am interested in adding a minor or major in Social Work during year number 14.

Are you afraid of graduating?
What I am afraid of is graduating and wishing I would have stayed one more year. I have realized that people my age (and even people much older) are naturally confused about what they are doing with their lives. I’ve got the rest of my life to work and since I’m enjoying the college years…why not add one more?

How many credits do you have?
I need to check on this one. However, I feel as if I passed the 300 mark last year. Or maybe it was the 400 mark…

Do you date a lot of women? Freshmen?
I’m no ladies man. I've been stood-up, dumped, and had my heart broken many times in the last decade. It also doesn't help that I get totally nervous and can’t even put sentences together as soon as an attractive girl starts talking to me. It takes me a little while to trust people enough to open up.
As far as freshman and sophomore girls, I have not dated one in a few years. But if someone accuses me of dating “younger women” I am guilty since they are all younger. I’ve been in college since 1994!

Does it bother you that you are exploiting the system?
People have been misled to believe that taxpayer dollars are subsidizing my educational costs. I am actually one of only a handful of students in the State of Wisconsin that covers that subsidized amount out of my own pocket. As far as taking up a spot of a deserving applicant, The Chancellor and other representatives have been quoted that I have not stood in the way of a single applicant’s acceptance.

Don’t you think there should be more to life than just partying?
Without knowing me, people have this crazy image in their head that I am out partying every night and sleeping in until noon. I may be doing it a few times a week, but I am also active and motivated in many areas of campus and society. I have been an A/B student for many years at an accredited University where I have become (quite possibly) the most educated undergraduate in the world. Some of my involvement on campus has included the founding of the organization M.A.S.A.V. (Men Against Sexual Assault and Violence), serving as the Special Events Coordinator for the College, and starting a scholarship program for non-traditional aged college students. I have also been active with various volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity, Camp Hope (a camp for children that have lost a parent or loved one), the UW-W Praire Restoration Project, UW-W Adopt a Quad, Camp Evergreen (camp for physically and mentally disabled), and Camp Getaway (camp for inner-city Chicago children that are infected with HIV or AIDS).

Do you have any big goals for the final year?
I have two major goals right now. I want to fall in love and I want to go to the Playboy Mansion. Hopefully these two do not end up happening on the same night. I also created a semi-private list of the final 100 things that I wanted to do before I graduated.

What are you going to do after you graduate?
hmmmmm. music, acting, teaching, etc...

Why do you keep going to college?
Last year I felt as if I had done everything imaginable with the college years. I had gained national attention for just following my heart and staying in school. I had been a guest on Letterman, studied abroad in Europe and Africa, and was featured on the front page of the New York Times. I had gone on a dozen spring breaks, was quoted in Newsweek Magazine, wrote a book about my extended college adventures, had a law named after me, acted in my first movie, and was even named to People Magazine’s Hottest Bachelor List. Anyway, I was wrong...

What college do you go to?
University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

How can I show my support?

or a buddy icon.

Would you speak at my school?
I would love to! Pass my info onto any connections you may have with your university, college students in organizations, or anyone that I could come down and lecture to (residence halls, fraternities, etc...)? Over the next few months, I’m checking out schools to possibly do graduate work at. I have spoken at other major universities on the different topics such as…

*changes in college since 1994
*enjoying the college years
*responsible celebrating
*studying abroad throughout Europe and Africa
*spring break do s and don't s
*making a difference in the community
*interviewing for jobs
*benefits of getting involved on campus (and off)
*Greek life
*resume building and writing
*my experiences with the national media attention (Letterman, Good Morning America, etc...)

When do you graduate?
May 20089

Where have you studied abroad?
I have studied in Stellenbosch (South Africa), Rome (Italy), Florence (Italy), Venice (Italy), Lucerne (Switzerland), Paris (France), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and London (England)

Do you streak?
I'm not sure who started this whole myth of college kids streaking all of the time, but do not believe the hype. I haven't gone streaking since last semester.

What are some changes in college since 1994?
Internet, cell phones, and no more 90210.

What is with the future movies?
I had this semi-brilliant idea of producing a mocumentary/ documentary movie about the filming of a super cheesy sci-fi flick about the future. All I knew was that I wanted there to be NO script, cheap special effects, a kickass soundtrack, and tons of aluminum foil. You can watch them here.

Have you ever flunked a class?
No comment

What is your GPA?
I got a 4.0 last semester, but I’m basically an A/B student.

How have you been able to afford this? Are your parents paying?
They did help me a bit my first year (back in 1994). I also took out some student loans my first four years, but I have basically been paying my tuition as I go along for the past 9 years. I’ve done everything from camp counselor, to sub maker, to waiter, to playing shows and selling my acoustic CDs. It has been pretty costly, but the college years are worth much more than money.

How does it feel to be a hero?
I’ve gotten hundreds of emails from people telling me I should keep going to school, that I am their hero, and that they are living vicariously through me. However, I’m really no hero. I'm just your average 'underdog' musician type who decided to follow his heart and not graduate yet.

I saw that you do music. Do you write your own songs?
Yes I do. I write about all kinds of different things. For more information check out the music area of my website.
