In-Depth
Maya Koparkar for Her Campus McGill (HC McGill): What kinds of things do you like to do for fun?
Marielle Perrault (MP): I love watching movies. I’ve pretty much seen every movie currently in theatres.
HC McGill: Where would we be most likely to find you on a Friday night?
MP: Probably in my bed, watching old Disney channel shows while trying to think of funny Instagram captions that make my life seem cool and interesting.
HC McGill: What is your favourite spot on campus?
MP: Fifth floor McLennan near the glass window overlooking the stairs. I’m usually by myself, I can people watch, and I don’t have to be quiet, which is basically the holy trinity when it comes to studying.
HC McGill: What do you like best about your nursing program?
MP: I like that the program provides us with volunteer opportunities within the city. I don’t often venture out of the McGill bubble, so it’s cool to have these sorts of things to push introverts like me outside our comfort zone.
HC McGill: Are you involved with any extracurricular activities in the Montreal/McGill community?
MP: I’ve been riding horses competitively in Montreal for the past five years and I still try to ride as often as I can during the semester.
HC McGill: Since you’re going into your second year at McGill, do you have any advice for the incoming class of this year?
MP: Buy ice picks for your shoes in the winter! And on that note: don’t ever try to wear heels in the winter, especially if you live in Upper Res.
