What made you choose to join the Alternative Society?
I wanted a place where I could make more friends and share my interests!!
What does “alternative” mean to you, and how do you express it in your life?
Alternative to me is art that is out of the norm, expressed in many different ways such as music and fashion and finding people who share niche interests with you is super cool.
Who is a figure in alternative culture (music, fashion, art, etc.) that inspires you and why?
Florence + The Machine is a band I basically grew up listening to, I listen to their songs because they sound beautiful and have such meaningful lyrics which made them an integral part in my life.
If your life had an alternative soundtrack, what three songs would be on it?
Girl with One Eye – Florence + The Machine
Bubblegum Bitch – MARINA
Babooshka – Kate Bush
What's your favourite board game or video game, and what makes it so enjoyable for you?
Definitely Ace Attorney, specifically the Apollo Justice Trilogy. It contains such a wide range of interesting and complex characters that appeal to every type of person, and the different case stories are incredibly interesting, and contains so many plot twists it gives me whiplash.
If you could have any animal as a pet, regardless of practicality or legality, what would you choose and why?
Sugar gliders. They’re so incredibly cute!!
What's the most adventurous thing you've ever done or would like to do in the future?
I would maybe want to skydive!! It would be incredibly scary due to my fear of heights, but it’s something I would definitely want to experience at least once in my lifetime.
