Campus Cutie: Eric Down

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Queen's U chapter.

Name, faculty, graudating year?

Eric Down, Commerce, 2016.

If you had choose an inanimate object that your face most resembled, what would that inanimate object be?

Well, I’ve been told I have the face of a bunny. But that’s not inanimate, is it? I think I’m gonna say diamond.

Because your sweat gleams in the light?

Something like that. Wait, no, you’re twisting my words!

Yeah. Okay, so who’s your celebrity crush?

(Without hesitation) J-LAW. I would love to love her.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done today?

I stuck my tongue in a guy’s ear a couple minutes ago.

That’s awesome. What is your most prized possession?

I have a stuffed bunny named Russy that I got the day I was born. He’s huge, and now he’s kind of a weird shade of brown and one of his eyes is falling off.

 Do you have a guilty pleasure?

Perogies. I eat way too many perogies.

Alright, time for a creative question. You’re stranded on a deserted island with Kanye West, Piers Morgan and your least favourite professor. You’ve gone too long without food and you realize the only way to find sustenance is by killing one of your peers and eating him. Who do you eat?

Not Kanye! I figure he’d be pretty entertaining. I’d go with my least favourite professor, mostly because he’s fat so the rest of us can share him. And I’ll have to stay away from Piers Morgan. I really hate that guy.

What do you think about when you’re all alone?

Sports. I know you were expecting something more interesting.

I’m actually a bit surprised. Okay, you see that door? A penguin walks through it wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he here?

He’s here to invite me to his Mexi-penguin party. It’s going to be at a mega-mansion that’s always kept at -20 degrees so the penguins feel comfortable. There’s going to be loads of Corona, tequila, nachos…everything. Also he talks with a Mexican accent.

Of course. And what’s his name?

Felipe.

Isn’t that French?

You have to pronounce it Felip-AY.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go and what’s the first thing you would do there?

I’d go to Vienna because my housemate did and she had an awesome time and it’s central for travelling. It’s also my top choice for exchange! I think when I get there I’ll just walk around the city for 6 hours. And enjoy.

If money didn’t matter and you could have any job, what would you be?

General Manager of the New England Patriots.

That’s specific. Favourite place to study?

The basement of Douglas Library. Sometimes it feels like I’m in a dungeon.

What was your worst vacation experience?

I got poison ivy at my cottage, but that’s not really a vacation. I haven’t been to a lot of places. Actually, I have! Once I spent a whole month in France.

Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?

Harry Potter. I didn’t really get into Lord of the Rings.

Arts and Science, or Engineering?

Engineering. But only because I have more friends in that program!

East Coast or West Coast rappers?

This is the hardest question! I’m going to say East coast, but it fluctuates. I’m really into Jay-Z and Action Bronson right now.
