Senior Spotlight: Seth Christiansen

Seth Christiansen, a seventeen-year-old who lives in a family of four, was born on May 29, 2002. May 29 is also his mom’s birthday. If Seth had $5 million he would give it all to his family. Although Seth lives in town, during the summer, he works out at his grandparents’, Tonsager Farms, where he learns about farming and machinery. 

One thing Seth could not live without, excluding his cell phone, would be his shoe collection. Although this may seem impractical, Seth has a love for shoes. Seth’s favorite food is Buffalo Wild Wings’ Honey Barbecue Boneless wings. A food that would describe his last year would be jelly-filled donuts in how the year was a normal year, but it had a few surprises along the way. 

Seth finds humor amusing because with witty humor it takes a certain person to find it humorous. His favorite TV show is The Office and one character he would like to play on the Office is Dwight Schrute. Dwight Schrute is awkward in his own way and his characteristics interest Seth. A cartoon character that describes him is Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny is witty, smart, a prankster, and helps others. Seth sees himself having some of the same characteristics. He takes an interest in books that are mysterious and he finds the movie Step-Brothers to be the funniest movie ever. An endurance show Seth would be interested in being a contestant on would be American Ninja Warrior; so he can test how many skills he has. 

If Seth could try anything and not fail, he would pursue the dream of becoming a professional basketball player. Seth has been playing basketball since third grade, and it is something he is good at. Another thing he is good at is school. He believes this because he doesn’t struggle and he can help others learn or understand the material. 

Seth would like to go to South Dakota State University to major in nursing. Choosing SDSU was influenced by previous family members’ experiences. After college, Seth would like to pursue a career as a Nurse Anesthesiologist at Sanford.
