Seth Allen Arntzen is the son of Brent and Brenda Arntzen. He was born June 17, 2006, and is an only child. Although he has lived in Madison for most of his life, he was born in Minnesota and lived there for three years before moving to South Dakota. Seth has several interests, including music and sports, but working out is the one he enjoys the most; he spends his free time in the gym whenever he can. His favorite clothing items are his Nike Air Force 1s, and his favorite restaurant is JJ’s Pizza in Colorado. He works at Runnings, and he says the most rewarding part of his job is when he finishes a massive project. Seth says that, if he could live anywhere in the world for a year, he would live in Colorado to see the mountains and reconnect with friends. Something he’s always wanted to do is cliff jumping, and he hopes to be able to check that off his bucket list soon.
Seth watches a great deal of movies and T.V. His favorite T.V. show is Breaking Bad, and his favorite movie is The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. “My favorite classes are agriculture classes because I can work with my hands and learn many useful skills,” says Seth. He enjoys hands-on activities and is always looking for ways to feel accomplished. If he had five million dollars to spend, he would buy a big house and nice cars, and then put any extra money into retirement. When asked what cartoon character he would be, Seth’s response was simple: “If I were to be any cartoon character, it would be Johnny Bravo because he’s big, strong, and scared of women interaction.” And if he could play any character in a movie, he would play Tyler Durden from Fight Club because he doesn’t care what other people think of him.
Seth plans to attend the University of South Dakota for college and hopes to get a career selling real estate. His advice for underclassmen is to participate in events to make friends and try to make the most out of your high school experience.
