MEGAN KIDBY
Scallion Editor
Ladies, gentlemen and non-binary friends, we’re back!
If you didn’t read the last issue, I’ll catch you up. I, Megan Kidby, sat down with our wonderful bachelor Jace Jacobs and asked him a couple questions about love, family, challenges and other things that made him the man he is today. Unfortunately, we had to stop the interview a little early, but I just got the chance to ask Jace the rest of my hard-hitting questions.

In what ways do you actively work on self-improvement and personal growth?
Jace: I am a big fan of journaling! I used to journal every night and I’m trying to get back into it. I’m also just trying to practice kindness and patience with myself. I’m just trying to be nice to myself because I have a long track record of not being nice to myself.
How important is a sense of humor to you in a potential partner?
Jace: Incredibly important. If you can’t commit to the bit you can’t hang.
Can you share a funny or lighthearted experience that reflects your personality?
Jace: When I went to *fake british accent* London, we went clubbing on New Year’s Eve. This was part of a study abroad program for context, and we had hit up two clubs and then we went to a gay club afterwards. My friends and I were waiting at the bar to get a drink and…I’m a big Troye Sivan fan. I love his new album. The song Rush starts playing (which is my favorite) and I turn to my friend, drunk, and I say, “LET ME GET MY DRINK FIRST. I NEED TO GO DANCE.”
If you were a pizza topping what topping would you be and why?
Jace: Honestly…pineapple because nobody wants me here and I’m a little fruity.
If your love life was a movie what would its title be and who would you want to play you in the lead role?
Jace: If my love life were a movie, it would be titled “Not This Again.” I would want Zach Galifianakis to play me.
In the spirit of full disclosure, how many socks have you lost in the laundry over the past year? Do you have a secret stash of mismatched socks?
Jace: I have probably lost — honestly this is pretty depressing — at least 10, if not more. I do keep all of my mismatched socks. I shouldn’t but I do.
In the event of the zombie apocalypse, how would you ensure the safety and happiness of your future partner while fighting off the undead with style?
Jace: I wouldn’t. I would sit them down and say ‘we’re fucked.’
So, we know you have a dog named Bowie. If Bowie could talk, what embarrassing secrets do you think he would reveal about you?
Jace: He would probably reveal that anytime I’m home alone, I double check that my parents are actually gone and then I turn on my music full blast and sing and dance around my house. He does not like that I do this.
What is the weirdest or funniest pick-up line you have ever used or heard?
Jace: I used this one on News Editor Dan Quagliana on Valentine’s Day: Damn girl, are you Princess Diana? Because I love and respect you.
