This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Amherst chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

 

How did you meet?

Eileen: We went to the same high school (New Trier in Winnetka), and when I visited Amherst we got in touch through mutual friends.

 

How long have you been together?

Henry: We have been dating for five months, but we have been good friends since Eileen was a senior in high school and I was a freshman here at Amherst.

 

Is there a movie you two love watching together?

Henry: Well for a movie, that would obviously be Dirty Dancing. But we also love watching New Girl together.

Eileen: When Harry Met Sally is another favorite.

 

Favorite Amherst memory together?

Henry: The Middlebury home football game this year was a lot of fun, because we won!

Eileen: It was great because I love showing school spirit and being able to support Henry at the same time is great.

 

Is there a memory you share that always makes you laugh?

Eileen: Lollapalooza in the summer of 2012 was so funny because we were just getting to know each other and we had a great time just acting crazy at the concert.

Henry: After the concert, we took a cab home and ate McDonalds together.

 

What is something the two of you have in common?

Eileen: We are both very competitive.

Henry: Yeah, sometimes also stubborn. And we also love the Chicago Blackhawks. 

 

What is your dream date?

Henry: My dream date would be on a beach somewhere with just a table, a candle, and the ocean.

Eileen: Seeing a show or a play in Chicago and grabbing a late night dinner afterwards. We would finish it off by walking down the streets of the city.

 

Valentines day plans?

Eileen: Henry has planned a surprise for me!
