HCR: If you could replace one of your arms with anything what would it be? 

JQ: Puppies 

HCR: Who would play you in the movie version of your life? 

JQ: 50’s era Marlon Brando, however he’s definitely got me beat in the looks department. 

HCR: What’s the first thing you thought when you looked in the mirror this morning? 

JQ: “Do my clothes match?” Being color blind makes getting dressed a real challenge. 

HCR: What’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for a girl? 

JQ: Let her eat my food without getting angry about it.   

HCR: So Rites is coming up this weekend! Can you tell us what you’re most excited about? 

JQ: I’m definitely most excited for PIKE Beach Party and the house being filled with sand for a whole weekend.  

HCR: What’s your favorite memory from Rites last year? 

JQ: My favorite memory from last year is playing the friday night show with Cigs Inside.  

HCR: Do you plan on doing anything differently this year?

JQ: To make it to class the friday morning after beach party, but chances are slim. 

HCR: What advice would you give to the freshmen who are experiencing Rites for the first time? 

JQ: It’s a marathon not a sprint.  

HCR: What would your ideal Rites line up be? 

JQ: If I were to pick 4 artists for an ideal Rites lineup I’d have to go with Vulfpeck, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Allen Stone, and Leon Bridges.  

HCR: And finally, I’m sure our readers are dying to know, are you currently crushing on anyone?

JQ: Way too many to name.
