HC: Describe the best date you’ve been on.LP: I dated this guy for a bit and on one date we drove out to the countryside to this pancake house and sugar bush. We spent the day out there eating pancakes, hiking and learning how they made maple syrup. It was a lot of fun especially since it was something I’d never done before.
HC: What is your makeup routine during 101 Week?LP: I like to keep it simple since the first week of September still feels like the middle of August. Sunscreen and mascara are a must.
HC: What advice would you give first year students at uOttawa?LP: Put yourself out there. It may sound scary but do and experience as much as possible especially if you’re from out of town; it’ll definitely be worth it.
