Ann-Marie Helou is a U3 Psychology and Sociology student who is always able to put a smile on your face, even in the middle of exam hell. She is a Montreal native who loves too many books to list, and she may just be Chelsea F.C.’s biggest fan. Read on to learn more about this week’s campus cutie!
Faculty/Major: Arts/Psychology & Sociology
Year: U3
Hometown: Montreal, QC
Favourite Movie: It has to be a tie between Pitch Perfect and Clue. I quote them so much, it’s ridiculous.
Favourite (non-school related) Book: That’s like asking me which limb I want to keep! I’ll say The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton, it’s so good. Like so good. Read it. Now.
Favourite Song (at the moment): Please don’t groan when I say “Hello” by Adele.
Coffee or Tea: Hmmmmmmmmm Tea.
Dogs or Cats: CATS. All day, every day.
Morning Person or Night Owl: Night Owl! I prefer the quiet of the night to do things. It’s peaceful.
Place you’d most like to travel to: Greece for sure. My best friend and I have always wanted to travel there together, especially after we saw Mamma Mia. I don’t know how well it will go over if we try and reenact the “Dancing Queen” scene.
Craziest thing you’ve ever done: A few months ago, I spontaneously got a tattoo.
Dream Job: Chief advertiser for Adidas, but focused on Chelsea F.C. They are my favourite club, and the advertisements Adidas and the club make for kit releases are brilliant, among other things. I realize how specific that is.
Favourite Place on Campus: Roddick gates, because it means I’m done for the day.
Favourite McGill Memory: As cliché as this sounds, becoming friends with some pretty awesome people.
Favourite Thing about Montreal: It’s so beautiful and there is always something to do.
Words to live by: I personally go by “It is what it is, and it will be what it will be,” but this quote always really stuck with me too: “Regret doesn’t do you much good, that is, unless you have a time machine,” from a book by Jonas Jonasson.
