Mixing up two different appointments in his busy schedule, scatterbrained Meiklejohn peer adviser Michael Hall ’22 reportedly confused a meeting with a freshman advisee for a date with a Tinder match.
“When he started out by asking what I do for fun I figured he was just being friendly and getting to know me,” said Anika Mishra ’23, Hall’s first-year advisee. “But when he complimented my outfit, I realized he might not know this was supposed to be an advisee meeting.”
Other early signs of Hall’s confusion included his insistence on paying for Mishra’s coffee and the way he politely pulled her chair out for her before she sat down, sources reported.
“At the end of it all, he said we should meet again sometime,” Mishra recalled, confirming her suspicions that Hall mistook her for his date and not his advisee. “I agreed because I still need to ask him whether I should take that fifth class and see if he has any suggestions for good extracurriculars to try out.”
Later in the day, Hall’s real Tinder date reportedly went south when he spent the entire time listing Brown’s academic resources and talking about the importance of attending professors’ office hours.
