What makes you stand out?


At the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) we have a "Quarter Mile." The quarter mile is a pathway leading from dorm side to academic side that thousands of students walk every day, during the school year.


I arrived at RIT in September to start my Freshman year of college. After walking the quarter mile "everyday" for a few months, I started to recognize and notice a few people that stand out from the rest of the crowd. Each individual has their own style or characteristic that will catch your eye.


These people not only stand out to me, they are known around campus. I've asked a few people "Have you seen the girl with the.....?" or "Have you seen the guy with the cool.....?" Many people I've talked to about these "stand out people" will say " I know them! Well, I don't know them, but I know of them."


I found this interesting that one person could be known by only their appearance and I want to give these Quarter Mile Celebrities a chance to tell their story on my blog.

Paul Darragh





First Impression:
            Paul, otherwise known as "Tall Paul", he will catch catch your eye on campus.  He is truly very tall and has unique facial features that make him stand out. When I met Paul he was really easy to talk to and had a welcoming feel about him.  He is involved in so much on campus!  I had seen Paul on posters because he has a role as the freshman senator. When he walks down the quarter mile, you can't miss him.  I can definitely say he makes a great quarter mile celebrity.
.
What is your major? What year are you?
Software engineering, freshman.

Where are you from?
North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

What are you planning on doing after college?
I'm not sure who I'd like go to work for, but I definitely want to start off working for a software company, not go off and start my own company.

How do you think your style reflects you as a person?
I am very outgoing, friendly, I try and show that, because I think people find me very approachable. I really don't care what people think, I am who I am.

How do you see yourself?  
I see myself as someone who enjoys being involved on campus, making campus better and not biting off more than I can chew.

How would your best friend describe you?
My best friend would describe me as liking awful jokes, haha, that I like dirty jokes, and that I have a dirty mind. But when it comes down to it, I know I can get down to business.  I have a very good work ethic. Work hard, play hard.

Is there anything you want people to know about you when they read my blog?
I am very approachable, I want to get to know everyone on campus, I know that is an unrealistic goal, but that's what I want to try for. Come up and say hi! I love to make new friends.

Paul is the Freshman Senator, he is pledging Phi Kappa Tau, a member of the RLI RIT Leadership Institute and he is a Residential Advisor for NRH.
