Tell us about yourself in 100 words: My name is Dryden Meints, I’m a freshman music theatre major this year at B-W. I’m from Omaha, Nebraska, which is a slightly larger city than you think it is. I’m obsessed with music. Thom Yorke of Radiohead is my idol, and if I saw Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls on the street, I would get down on one knee and propose. I’m always willing to discuss music. Other than that, I’m just a pretty laid-back guy who like to get along and do his own thing!

Tell us about yourself in 100 words: I am a guy who loves to seek the deeper meaning. I am very critical of ideas, while still giving the idea holder respect. Music and literature is my forte, but I also enjoy going to sporting events. Also, I have a great love for writing! My favorite book is 1984, and my favorite poet, as of now, is Charles Bukowski.
