A bit about you;

How do you feel to be this week’s Campus Cutie?

Well at first I thought it was a joke, but after I realised that it was actually serious I’m pretty chuffed to be honest.

What is your favourite thing about university?

I love the independence, and I love my friends and flatmates. I feel like I’ve developed some of my closest relationships at uni.

Are you a member of any societies?

YES! Pole Fitness. No, I’m not a stripper. But, yes, you can throw money at me if you like.

What else do you like to get up to in your spare time, any hobbies?

I love to cook. I’m pretty sure I have more cookbooks than the average middle-aged housewife.

Do you have any nicknames?

No, and I’m sad about that. I feel like I’ve missed out. Although, recently someone started calling me T-Payne.

How would your friends describe you in three words?

Inappropriate, caring and daring.

On to the guys;

What do you look for in a guy?

Personality is the biggest thing for me. I like politeness, someone who’s always there for me, and someone who makes me laugh a lot, but also who knows how to talk seriously about important things.

What is your biggest turn off?

This is going to sound really shallow. But, if someone has a really annoying voice then that’s the worst.

Any celebrity crushes?

Douglas Booth. Only because people would look at me weird if I said Gordon Ramsay.

Give us your best chat-up line.

There will only be 7 planets left after I destroy Uranus.

What do you think your best feature is?

I quite like my arms.

Where would you take us on a first date to really impress us?

Ohh. Let’s go Laser Quest, and then out for dinner- I know this really good place in a little village nearby.

Moving on to some quirkier questions;

What three people; dead, alive, and fictional, would you invite to a dinner party?

Dead: Heath Ledger

Alive: Tina Fey

Fictional: Cersei Lannister

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

Teleportation- it would make life so much easier.

What are you never seen without?

Sober: my backpack- I’d rather be naked than without my backpack. Drunk: my dignity.

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

Whenever someone asks a question like this it always makes me feel really lame and boring. Skydiving? Indoors? Does that count? No?

If you could be anyone else in the world for a day, who would you be?

Michael Caine, and I haven’t got a clue why. 

Think fast;

Dream job: is being the King a job?

Favourite food: Chips and lobster are probably my joint favourites.

Favourite film: Chicago is pretty amazing.

Favourite music artist: at the moment Mø.

Favourite animal: Red squirrel/ fox.
