Favourite Book?
“It’s so hard to decide because there are so many books that I love and so many that I haven’t read yet, but anything written by Douglas Adams or Kurt Vonnegut. The last amazing book I read was Misery by Stephen King.”
Favourite TV show?
“My favourite TV shows have to be American Horror Story, Misfits, and I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of Friends – it’s a classic!”
Favourite Food?
“This is such a tough question, but my mum’s spag bol has got to be the best, oh and anything with chorizo in it obviously!”
What has been your favourite Falmouth memory so far?
“There’s been so many Falmouth highlights, including the time when my flat-mates and I went to flushing last June. It was a stunning day so we decided to jump off the pier, after that much excitement we went and ate mussels at the pub. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much in a day, it was so amazing.”
That sounds incredible! What are your plans after Falmouth?
“I want to become a globe-trotting journalist, but until that happens I think I’ll try to stay in Falmouth if I can, I love it here so much I really don’t want to leave!”
So when you’re off travelling the globe, where are the places you’ll definitely want to leave your mark on, and why?
“Somewhere with amazing wild life, near the sea. I have always wanted to live on an exotic island like the Galapagos or in the Caribbean. It just looks so beautiful and now that I live in Falmouth I don’t think I could ever part with living by the sea.”
If you could describe your perfect day, what would it look like?
“It would have to be a beach day surrounded by great friends, somewhere new to explore and have a laugh, try new cuisines and just enjoy each other’s company. Not taking life too seriously as we relax outside in the sun – perfect!”
If you had a superpower, what would it be?
“I’ve got to with the classic – Flying! It just looks like fun.”
And finally, why are Falmouth students the best?
“Because we’re all so arty, and have so much passion and love for what we do. Everyone is really open minded, kind and talented!”
QT’s TOTD:
“Although it’s not mine I love the Dr. Seuss quotation: ‘Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind’ – it’s pretty cool.”
