Who would play you in a film of your life?
Haha that’s quality! No bearing on his first name… but it would have to be Jonny Depp, aside from the fact he’s good looking, like me… he always play’s cool characters… although I am pretty gutted his movember went a lot better than mine!
How did you spend your last Summer?
I spent some time interning in Geneva, worked at the Olympics and visited my girlfriend in Rome.
What’s your life ambition?
Do you want my wierd or cool answer? Probably like a lot of university students I want to travel the world, I’d love to see New Zealand, Canada, Scandinavia and South East Asia. But I would also really like to be an MP one day.
Favourite night out in Exeter?
It’s got to be Thursday’s at Arena… It’s a classically good night out… no theme, we all just get pretty trashed. The last time I went there we managed to get my housemate to chunder for the first time since starting Uni 14 months ago!
If you lived your life by a motto what would it be?
Thanks to Kung Fu Panda… Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the ‘present.’
Favourite place in Exeter?
I’m going to go with Yo Sushi – had a great meal there on Thursday – it was so good I’ve actually applied to be a team member!
Best pick up line?
Ten tonne polar bear… Breaks the ice! – that’s the standard one. Or just the ‘I’m welsh’ one – somehow it worked on my Italian girlfiend!
Most romantic thing you’ve ever done?
It’s pretty hard to be romantic as a student… although for our 9 month anniversary I took my girlfriend to a pretty swanky restaurant and got ‘Happy Anniversary’ written in chocolate on our dessert.
Soundtrack to your life?
Got to be Stronger by Kanye West.
What’s number one on your bucket list?
Get a tattoo – there’s some pretty cool tree tattoos.
Will you get one if this gets a 1,000 views?
Make it 10,000!
If you could nominate a friend to be a campus cutie, who would it be and why?
Alex Manning, because he’s the antithesis of a cutie.
