Mr. and Ms. February

Andrew Finn ’16

Ladies, are you looking for the perfect Valentine? Look no further than this February’s bachelor, Andrew Finn. Hailing from San Fran, Andrew embodies the elements of a Californian stud and refined gentleman: this bachelor is funny, nice, smart, motivated…but mostly, he’s great with his hands. If Andrew’s not diddling with video game controllers, you can find him white knuckling a pair of knitting needles. So for all you lonely, scarf-less lovers out there, here’s your match.

Over winter break, this young fella also ventured into Waterville for his first trip ever to a Walmart. He topped the day off with his first Dunkin’ Donut purchase. Obviously, he’s always down for adventures and trying new things!

Ladies, if you can’t find Andrew in a music room meticulously playing the cello, or experimenting with his new ukulele, you may find him feverishly knitting away in Pulver. However, if you can’t find the handsome devil around campus, hit him up on AIM @majesticgardengnome15.

Amanda Cross ’16

Watch out Colby, Amanda Cross is back from Spain, and her personality is almost as fiery as her hair. Fresh out of Wilton, Conn., this FebFrosh brings the party with her wherever she goes. While she might claim that orange juice is her favorite beverage, those who are closest to her know that it’s really…gin…ger-ale! Can you say fiesta?

A typical day in Amanda’s life begins like that of most Colby students’: in the dining hall. After a hearty meal of juice and eggs, it’s off to class. Taking both Spanish and English, this señorita is a whiz at languages along with multi-variable calculus. With Amanda, the limit really does not exist.

When she’s not studying hard in the library or watching videos of pandas sneezing, Amanda can be found traveling the world. From the ragged cliffs of Cape Town, South Africa, to the jungles of Thailand or the quaint cafés of Paris’ cobble-stoned streets, this girl knows how to travel in style.

So boys, if you’re interested in a Ray-Ban-rockin’, juice-sippin’, fun-lovin’ gal, then Amanda is just the girl for you!
