Campus Cutie: Madeeha Hashmi

 

 

A: For me, the best experience at Queen’s has been the instant camaraderie I have felt with any other Queen’s student upon meeting them for the first time. Queen’s is such a unique post-secondary institution because it manages to sustain a strong sense of tradition and community even though it is such a large organization. I am happy to say that even in my fourth year, I am always meeting current Queen’s students and alumni with whom I become fast friends because of this sense of oneness that all Queen’s students tend to feel with each other. 

 

 

A: I don’t really have a favourite colour, but my wardrobe would tell you otherwise. I wear a lot of black, perhaps because, for me, it is a dense enough colour to express anything and needs no embellishment. 

 

 

A: Although this is not the case for the majority of Queen’s students, in my time at Queen’s, I have witnessed insensitivity and ignorance towards minority groups on the basis of race, culture, religion and other factors. As a group of young, intelligent  people, I think it is important for us to be more socially aware of the people we share our community with. 

 

 

A: Please accept this woeful excuse for a haiku:

 

When the cats love me

I cannot return their love

I am allergic

 

 

A: Throughout my undergraduate degree, which I will complete after my final exams this April, I have not had a single drop of coffee.
