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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
