More about Lou!
Personal Motto: Once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it
Favorite Method of Transportation: Trains are the way to go
Favorite Sport to Play : Tchoukball
Favorite family vacation: We did a three day train trip from Los Angeles to Boston to move me in freshmen year. We didn’t even have a sleeper car, so my parents, my sister and me were sleeping/hanging out in train seats for hours as we rode across the country. One of those things I’ll never forget.

Celeb Crush/Role Model : Idris Elba is the f**king man
Favorite BC sport: Women’s Soccer
Favorite hangout spot on campus: The Labyrinth
Favorite Halloween costume: Quality has really gone down since my mom stopped making my costumes. Definitely either homemade Ninja from 5th grade or homemade Robin Hood from 3rd grade
Deal breakers: If you don’t have a sense of humor, wear mink, or are a minor, it probably won’t work out
Advice to freshmen: Just because other’s have their day in the sun before you, doesn’t mean you won’t have one.
Dream job: Any job that paid me to make people laugh at a wage that could also support a family
Ideal girl: Pretty smile, cute laugh, good hair. Done
Ideal date: Riding Elephants in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, followed by casual conversation over loose leaf tea by a waterfall.
