Contents
Overview
Paul is a self-professed geek who was Scott G's roommate in 2015 and part of The Basement Floor RC group (actually, at time of editing, he has discovered that, while he may have literally been in the same hallway as the other Basement Floor members, he apparently was not considered part of the Basement Floor social group). He likes to say JUKES!!! and bro a lot. He spends his free time at Tip playing cards in the basement lounge. He is in Engineering. When he is not programming a TI calculator, he is reading (most likely). He does a fair amount of Martial arts in his free time, too (it's his best sport).
Notable Acts
Paul is probably most famous for his HTML T-shirt, which he daringly wore in the 1st week of Tip.
Jokes (not Jukes)
Paul is also known for his awful puns, which have gained him a certain amount of infamy. He says that they come to him naturally, but many people suspect that he spends his free time thinking up incredibly annoying puns to unleash upon the world of Tip.
Music
Paul plays clarinet, dabbles in drums, and practically worships Linkin Park and Coldplay.
Games
Paul likes many mobile games, but, "Since Android 4.4.2 is so unfriendly to users, actually playing games is nearly impossible". As to console games, no, just no.
Future
Paul, who previously went to Davidson Term 2 in 2015, is returning to Davidson for Term 2 2016.
Davidson 2016
Currently, Paul is in the cryptography class, although his first choice was Creative Writing (the literal best thing ever). Upon hearing this, the Creative Writing kids made him an honorary member. Madison is working on getting him the wonderful weasel button. UPDATE: HE GOT THE BUTTON! PAUL IS AN OFFICIAL HONORARY MEMBER OF CREATIVE WRITING!
Post-TIP Life
Tipression
Paul can say for a fact that Tipression is real and that you never really forget the memories that you make at Duke TIP. For anyone currently at TIP on one of the campuses, make the most out of your time there and remember that even though TIP inevitably ends, even though there's a good chance that you'll be hit by a serious case of Tipression once you leave, you'll always have the memories of all the people you met at TIP and all of the wonderful things that you did at TIP with you to keep you company. To quote Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Yeah, Paul misses TIP. But he's glad that he got the chance to do it two years in a row. Paul is currently asking himself about when he became so sentimental. To anyone who is in TIP and is for some reason reading this page, don't be afraid to put yourself out there. TIP will leave you with some of the best memories of your life if you take advantage of the experience. Live life to the fullest (do that every day, but especially at Duke TIP).
I'M NOT CRYING, I SWEAR! WHOEVER TURNED ON THE SPRINKLERS IN HERE NEEDS TO TURN THEM OFF!
Contributions
As of December 13, 2018, Paul is currently involved in making a page for Linnea, who sits in front of him in Chemistry and apparently went to TIP at Duke East. He is also considering creating a page for Tipression because he can't find a page for it on the Tipwiki, and he feels like it needs a page because it's a common experience that Tipsters go through right after they leave Duke TIP.
