Sean Majer:
“Weird
haircuts, steeplechase, and Nintendo Gameboy in hand.” This can easily sum up
the life of Sean Helmuth Amadeus Majer. But there is so much more. Sean is a
recent graduate of St. Joe’s. Sean is at Vassar College, the second most
expensive college in the nation as well formerly an all girls school. As most
would be turned away by the thought of co-ed facilities, the price tag, or even
being located in the middle of nowhere known as Poughkeepsie, NY; Sean embraced
this idea with his outgoing attitude as well as took the challenge of becoming
a Division III athlete in both Cross-Country and Track.
To the
surprise of many, Sean had almost immediate success as a member of the Vassar
Brewers. His times dropped significantly. During his senior year, Majer clocked
in a 12:17 in the 3200m, only to drop over 2 minutes to under 10 minutes. As
well, Majer was denied the chance to run the steeplechase his senior year, for
his own good. But with months of training under his belt, in the spring of
2012, Majer got that chance to run the race that he loves for reasons that no
one quite understands.
Along with
the success in running, Majer has become popular amongst his teammates. This
can be traced back to the inability to say no to a challenge or haircut that
only a college student would agree to do. Sean’s vocabulary also has an
interesting twist that few and far in-between understand. These terms include “Jive”,
“young”, “fresh”, “doiyoiyoiyoiyoi”, and even “gern”.
“Maj” as many of his piers and many followers
call him, can also grow a scraggly beard like no other. He has the ability to look
like a homeless man, then transform himself into a preppy individual, then
finally a hipster in one day. Majer has also never passed up the opportunity to
have a grand-ol’-time with his fellow buddies, especially “Mc”. Majer, a unique
man who will do the random for no reason, is having the time of his life at
Vassar College and is embracing whatever his life is throwing at him.
