HC: If Netflix had a counter for how many minutes you spend on a show, what would be your number one most watched?
Prison Break. I love that show- it makes you think and it blows your mind every five minutes.
HC: What’s something that most people don’t know about you?
Uhm I’m kind of an open book… Oh! I speak German. Not many know that.
HC: Something you want to do before graduating?
Take a photography course and understand it. Anyone can take a picture but it’d be cool to know the basics of it to take a good one.
HC: What’s your favorite place you have traveled to? Why?
Chiang Mai, Thailand for riding elephants- actually no- Australia. Actually no- Amsterdam- the people are super friendly and it’s gorgeous. Actually no- Victoria, it’s pretty here and I’ve made good friends.
HC: Favorite dessert?
Chocolate cake. I don’t care where it’s from. Chocolate cake is chocolate cake.
HC: What’s one thing you can’t live without?
My friends. I could have everything but without friends I’d be lonely… but that’s so sappy. Chocolate cake- that’s my final answer.
HC: Who’s your celebrity crush?
Melissa McCarthy! She’s beautiful and funny- crazy funny. She kills every role in every movie. Even if she’s not the main character she steals the attention because she’s a badass.
HC: Best thing about UVic?
Everybody’s so friendly. People open doors for you here, they also say thank you. In other places people are like, “pfff whatever.” And if you forget your res card, people will pay for your food.
HC: Your favorite song at the moment?
* Sings* “I’m so Crazy for You” by Hedley.
HC: If you were an animal- which animal would you be?
A cheetah because they’re fast. They’re fierce but they’re majestic. They’re vicious but beautiful. You have to respect them.
