Bachelor Of The Week: Tom Bakko
Tom Bakko

Happy Spring Break, Gophers! Hopefully you're far from campus, ideally on a beach where something called the "sun" exists. What better way to recuperate from midterms and enjoy your free time than by finding love? This week's bachelor is a senior from Roseville, Minnesota studying chemical engineering. When he's not competing on the U's Ultimate Frisbee team you can find him binge watching Netflix shows. Meet Tom Bakko!

What makes you UMN’s ideal Bachelor of the Week?

Well I’m tall, dark and handsome...and I plan to be a millionaire.

We hear you’re on the Ultimate Frisbee team – how did you get started with that?

My uncle got me into it! He helped start the U of M team and taught me how to play. Unfortunately he died of cancer so I wear his number to carry on his legacy.

How would your mom describe you?


She would describe me as very respectable young man. Luckily she doesn’t know how big of a degenerate I am.

What are your plans for spring break?

I am going to Austin, Texas with the ultimate team for a tournament! I’m pumped.

If your love life was a song, what would it be?


"Alone"

What was your worst or most embarrassing date experience?

When I was 14 I asked out a girl who I just met the week before over Facebook and got shut down. Her parents were apparently really strict and I’m pretty sure they saw and wouldn’t let her use Facebook anymore. Oops.

If you were a brand, what would your motto be?


Nike stole mine; it would be Just Do It. I totally thought of it first.

Name three things on your bucket list.


Climb Mount Everest, go wing suiting, travel to all 7 continents.

What’s your dating app bio?


"I am a senior at the U of M. College athlete. Future millionaire. Adrenaline junkie and travel addict. I’m 6’4” so I make a great big spoon. Snapchat btakko."

Best quality you look for in a girl?


Great sense of humor.

Do you have a hidden talent?


I give the best massages.

What’s your idea of a perfect date?


Dinner at a nice-but-not-too-nice restaurant then late night walk around Lake Calhoun to see the view of the skyline.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
