What are you involved in at McGill? I’m a part of McGill Women in Leadership and the Global Development Forum.
Describe your perfect date. We would go out for Yogurty’s, because I love ice cream. Then we would go to the water fountain at Place des Arts (maybe run through them), and then Netflix and chill. That last part was a joke.
What is your biggest pet peeve? When my roommate doesn’t turn off the lights in the living room and kitchen before she goes to bed. Why does she never do that?! Also I don’t like it when people in the library are very into PDA, like I’m just here trying to study and you’re not allowing me to do that.
If you had to live in a TV show for the rest of your life, which one would it be? That 70’s Show because I like vintage stuff.
What actor/actress would play you in a movie? Amy Schumer.
What is the most embarrassing song on your iPod? I don’t have any; music isn’t embarrassing!
Dark, white or milk chocolate? Milk.
Top 3 things on your bucket list: See Elton John and Kanye West in concert, travel to Morocco, and be interviewed on Ellen.
Best pickup line? “Are you wearing space pants? Because your butt is out of this world!”
What could you see yourself doing in 10 years? I see myself helping the less fortunate in the field of Law or teaching English as a second language in Sri Lanka. I also want to still be friends with the people I’m friends with now because I cherish these friendships in my heart.
