“FSU London Lads”: Jack Buck

“FSU London Lads” presents Jack Buck!

Since the FSU London Ladies Series went over so well, we expanded to FSU London Lads as well. Florida State University has an amazing international program, and according to their site, “Florida State is among the nation’s elite for study abroad totals.” The London program in particular has much to offer, and the students that make up the program are intelligent, unique, and driven. So it’s my pleasure to feature these lovely FSU London lads!

Says Jack: “I am double majoring in Chinese and International Affairs. I have always loved languages but it was my high school German teacher who really made me realize that it was actually possible to pursue that path. She inspired me to do what I was actually interested in and not what I thought would be best for myself. As a result, I picked up Chinese and I’m even going to China this summer!

I absolutely love to travel! There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about future travel plans or thinking up something I can do next. Whatever I am or whatever I am doing in the future, there’s no way it won’t involve traveling and/or some sort of adventure.

The strangest skill that I have is that I can dream the future. There are sometimes moments in a day when I know what someone is about to say or something is about to happen. It starts off as deja vu and then I know!”

Read his interview below!

Q: What is your favorite color?

JB: My favourite color is yellow! It just makes me happy!

Q: Do you have a favorite number?

JB: Maybe 11? Probably because it is my mum’s favourite number.

Q: What’s your favorite food and why?

JB: You can’t ask me this! I don’t think there’s a food I don’t like, so everything is pretty good. But if I had to choose it would be my mum’s shepherd’s pie.

Q: You’re on a desert island with a beautiful woman or man. Would you rather they are top-half fish or bottom-half fish?

JB: Hahaha! Definitely a bottom half-fish because A) that would make him a merman and B) I would want to learn everything about his life!

Q: What’s your favorite article of clothing and why?

JB: My favorite article of clothing is my yellow and black Hufflepuff scarf, because it smells like my cologne, it’s soft and warm, and it’s yellow!

Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?

JB: I want to be a lot of things when I grow up, because I cannot see myself doing one thing for the rest of my life. So I can see myself filling a lot of roles. A teacher in China for a year or two, a translator for a couple of years, perhaps a flight attendant, maybe a politician? Who knows? I’m going to let progressing situations take me where I need to go. One things for sure though, after I graduate, I’m teaching English in China.

Q: Would you rather go to Hogwarts and still be a muggle? Or live in a world with pokemon but only be able to catch Magikarps?

JB: This is the hardest question of my life. After much thought, I would probably live in a world with pokemon only because I could raise my Magikarp into Gyarados and then trade them for other pokemon.

Q: Who is your role model?

JB: Is it bad that I don’t think I have one? There are definitely people in my life who I have learnt from but I’ve fought through a lot of my struggles by myself. I wouldn’t be who I am today without it.

Q: Who is your celebrity crush?

JB: I don’t have one.

Q: What’s your favorite place in the world?

JB: London! I don’t know why but when I’m here, I feel like I’m in the capital of the world. We will see if I still feel this way when I go to Asia this summer.

Q: Would you rather have accordions for legs? Or have a huge belly button 10 inches long that swayed to the beat of popular music?

JB: I really absolutely have no idea…
