Ted Fehringer is a senior and a history major.
If you were a ghost, what would you haunt?
I would haunt the Suites Residence because there’s nothing really going on. I’d be a lazy ghost.
If you could teleport anywhere on campus to get there as quickly as possible, where?
I would probably teleport to Saga at 5 p.m. because I sit in the same booth every day, the fourth booth. My brother and I have been eating at the same time pretty much every day, and we get the same booth, and we’ve been doing that for the past two years.
What is it like having a sibling on campus?
It’s basically like having a built-in partner in crime. You can tell them whatever you want, and you don’t have to branch out for a close friend as much.
Have you kept up any routines since freshman year?
Since freshman year I have worn the same Cotopaxi jacket every day. I really like the jacket. It’s a legacy jacket.
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up, and what are you doing with your life now?
When I was younger, I really didn’t know, and now I’m a senior studying history, and I think probably a common route for anyone doing humanities, law school. I mean, my dad’s a lawyer, my grandpa’s a lawyer, so he’s probably always just around in the background. That, or, a radio host.
What is your favorite movie and why?
I like “Good Will Hunting” because it’s a relatable movie because he’s a genius, and I’m a genius. I’m kidding. I think it’s a very good movie, the acting is really good.
What’s your hot take?
Athletes make the school better. There are a lot of personalities and a lot of good people that some NARPs (non-athletic-regular-person) probably don’t branch out to meet them. I live in the Suites with two football players, and they’re solid people.
What do you love about living in the Suites?
I like being able to go to bed at 10 p.m. every night, not being bothered.
What is something people don’t know about you, but should?
I would say I’m probably more of a normal guy than people would think. People probably think I’m pretty weird, the weird guy with the same jacket, studying in hell every day.
