Campus Cutie: Jan-Erik Stenbäck

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Helsinki chapter.

Major: Political science

Year: 2nd

Hobbies: Music! I listen to almost everything from classical to heavy metal, but at the moment electronical and hip hop music is The Thing for me. I also play the guitar – sometimes in bands but mostly solo. Above all I play the blues, but I also enjoy playing jazz and psycedelic electro-like stuff. I sing too; I’ve been member of Cantores Minores and the choir of the Opera.

Which fictional character would you be if you could choose? 

A sauna gnome (Finnish: Saunatonttu), because I love the sauna and I’m short and sympathetic.

Do you have any favourite magazine or newspaper?

Hmm, I don’t read those that much.. Maybe Helsingin Sanomat.

The best pasta dish?

Mac n’ cheese!

Your dream job? 

I’d like to be a diplomat. If I could have another life I would like to be a vet.

Your favourite place/thing in Helsinki?

Kallio! Because that is where the home is!

Your favourite poet?

Eino Leino

Do you have any guilty pleasures? 

Hmm. Innuendo in which I refer as ‘mindf*cking’.

Which personality trait you value most?

Self-confidence!
