Everyday People

Each Tuesday and Thursday in Scene, we ask one student 10 questions about anything. Today, we ask Patrick Randolph.

Patrick Randolph is an broadcast communication junior.

Q: When and how did you lose your innocence?
A: When I started working in the real world. I was put into a different environment than the bubble I was put in. I wasn’t protected. I saw the underside of life.

Q: What does the word ‘money’ mean to you?
A: Status. Especially in this country, of course everyone doesn’t want to acknowledge it. Are you lower, middle or upper class? That is what separates us. People equate nice things with expensive things.

Q: What’s the happiest you’ve ever been?
A: I have no way of judging my happiest moment on a scale. I’ve had happy moments. I don’t know how you judge that, you go through so many ups and downs during one day.

Q: What’s the most embarrassing moment you’ve ever had?
A: Getting caught in a lie, any lie. And being too stubborn to admit it; to keep egging it on and denying it. It makes you look like a moron.

Q: What was the first thing you thought about today?
A: To hit snooze again, would I make it to class. I thought, did my roommates clean their mess in the kitchen and then I thought, why didn’t I go to class Friday because I think I have a test today.

Q: What’s the hardest thing in your life right now?
A: Balancing my tough schedule: work, friends, family, school and extracurricular activities.

Q: What’s your favorite television show?
A: Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher - I used to watch for the pure shock factor. You get to see the left and right point of view. He doesn’t shy away from saying whatever he wants to.

Q: What do you find beautiful in people?
A: Someone with a twisted sense of humor; someone that’s sarcastic. A person who thinks before they speak.

Q: You turned 21 Monday, what does that mean to you?
A: I’m supposed to be a full-fledged adult now. I find that ironic, because at 16 you’re driving a car and that has much more responsibility than when you turn 18 or 21.

Q: Do you know what it feels like to be “in love”?
A: Yes. What’s that old saying love is ignorant bliss. It’s best summed up as, ‘you just know’.
