O: What dorm do you live in?

LM: I live in Osborn, first floor. I love it because my whole group of friends lives there.

O: Are you living on campus next year?

LM: Yes, I’m living in Drew.

O: What is something you would like to understand, but don’t?

LM: The meaning of life.

O: Do you have any theories so far?

LM: I guess we’re definitely all here for a reason. What that reason is, I’m not sure. I guess everybody should just live life to the fullest.

O: How do you live your life to the fullest?

LM: When I’m faced with a decision, I try to act on it right away, and just live in the moment. I try not to regret things. I’ve learned from my past, but I don’t live in it.

O: What is the coolest thing you have done this year?

LM: There was one night when I went on an adventure with a group of friends. We drove all the way to Red Wing and climbed the Barn Bluff at, like, midnight. It was a lot of fun, and it was beautiful.

O: If you could get mass amounts of people to believe in something, what would you have them believe?

LM: Respect. Respect for each other and everything, especially nature.

O: If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

LM: I would probably be pretty torn between Karl Marx and Elvis Costello.

O: Why those two?

LM: Well, Elvis Costello because I love his music, and I would want to understand why he wrote some of the music that he did. And Karl Marx because communism is such a twisted, skewed thing in so many cases. I think it would be really interesting to know what the true roots of it are.

O: Are you going into music or politics?

LM: Actually, those are the other things I wish I could do. I’m an art major, but I do play instruments, and I was considering a poli. sci.major.

O: What instruments do you play?

LM: I used to play the violin, but now I pretty much just play the guitar. But if you asked me to I could probably play the drum set pretty well.

O: If you could be any animal, what would you be?

LM: I would want to be an otter. They’re really playful, and they get to lounge around in the sun all day. I mean, what other animal just gets to play with sea urchins, like all the time?

O: If you could be any Disney character, who would you be?

LM: Oh boy. This is going to take me a minute. I guess it would be pretty cool to be Aladdin. Hanging out in the streets, stealing bread for little kids.

O: OK. That’s all my questions. Is there anything else you would like to add?

LM: I like airplane.

O: The movie?

LM: No. I just like airplane.
