Ben’s favorite season is not winter, spring, summer or fall. It is, in fact, Awards Season. Why? Ben is obsessed with celebrities. He knows all there is to know about the Hollywood elite, as well as A-listers around the world. Want to know the nominees for any upcoming awards show? Ben is on a first name basis with all of them. Want to know who’s hosting SNL this week? Who is hosting the Oscars? Ben is probably best friends with them.

Ben typically can be found watching Friends for the millionth time (they were NOT on a break) when he isn’t busy stalking-oops, casually researching-all things celebrity. He also loves to travel and post-high school wants to live anywhere other than Wyoming.

“If you ever feel like you’re falling out of touch with your best friends Jennifer Anniston and Taylor Swift, Ben should be able to get you caught up by providing you with their every move,” junior Jenna Hillman said. “If you ever think you are one of Ben’s best friends you’re wrong. No one will ever come before Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Chandler or Ross.”

Adds Adviser Cap: “‘Bachelor Ben’ has it figured out. Say little. Let your stories do the talking. And do everything within your power to preserve your friendship with Maggie Cappiello. Two liberals. One goal. Priceless.”
