Hey, I’m Aaron McCullough, and I’m a small town bud from Hastings, Minnesota. I’m a freshman majoring in biology and questioning why I chose to go to school in the tundra. Some of my hobbies are swimming, playing piano, nordic skiing and winning family euchre tournaments. Although I am currently unemployed, I have a bit of experience driving the Campus Connector. Get to know me and I’ll tell you the story. I shower regularly and eat three (sometimes four) meals a day. If you’re looking for someone to bring home to mom and dad, I could be that guy (after a few months of training and preparation).
How would your friends describe you?
“Usually confused but somehow manages”
“Lives life like it’s Coachella everyday”
“Tall before it was cool”
“Knows how to do a pretty good loon call”
“Ran me over with a jet ski once. It was the best day of my life.”
“Can sing all eight minutes of "American Pie" by Don McLean. It gets old after like three minutes but still pretty cool I guess.”
“Doesn’t kill spiders when they’re in your house because he thinks they need a home too.”
“We once had a riveting conversation about the Irwin family and all that they do for humanity.”
Why are you the perfect catch for someone?
I’m a pretty open and flexible guy. And by flexible I mean leg-behind-head and double jointed, ya know?
What do you look for in the ideal partner?
Someone who enjoys trying new things everyday and can have deep, meaningful conversation.
Avid scuba diver? Explain.
I took the scuba diving class here at the U. You could call me an expert I guess. Nothing better than suiting up for a dive. If you ever wanna take a go diving with some sharks just hit my line. I could use a little danger in my life.
What celebrity would play you in a movie and what genre would your life story be?
My life would definitely be a comedy. But not a good one. One that you laugh at only because it’s cringy if you don't. And I think I’d be played by Seth Rogen.
Cats or Dogs?
Dogs for sure. I try to avoid cats. They have it out for me.
What is your favorite kind of pizza?
Hawaiian. Whoever gets angry and says that pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza needs to relax a bit. Let me live.
What’s your ideal date?
It starts out like any other normal date. I pick you up in my 1999 Toyota Camry that still smells like my grandma. We are both wearing all black with ski masks. It’s dark. We drive to Seaworld and climb over the fence after disabling all the security cameras. Once inside we begin Operation Shamu Rescue. One by one we use helicopters to airlift every orca out of the park and release them into the ocean. We single handedly destroy the Seaworld franchise and save innocent animals from terrible lives in captivity.
Biggest pet peeve?
Smelly feet.
Most attractive quality in a partner?
Ability to make and understand well placed vine references.
