5. What are your goals for your post?

I want to guide new tutors and help them organizing fun events for everyone. I´m also personally interested in how I can manage working by myself, in a group, and now in this position  holding ties of a big group.//

Så ganska samma på svenska. Jag vill hjälpa ordna roliga evenemanger åt alla och är också personligen intresserad av att ha ansvar av en lite större grupp än jag är van vid. Kommer att bli intressant och skojigt att se hur det går.

6. When you were a kid, what did you want to become when you are big?

First it was the basic dream job that kids or especially boys in my friend group dreamt of, being a firefighter but that thought died out quite quickly. What I wanted to be has constantly changed and has been affected by different times and also movies and tv-programs. It´s hard to say any exact thing what I wanted to become but some thoughts were around pilot, archaeologist, or some kind of explorer.

7. Why are you studying in Arcada?

Short and boring answer, I applied here among other places and got in. Can´t say what I study now was a long dream come through but I wanted to study something practical.

8. What is your favourite coffee drink?

A cup of juhla mokka with one teaspoon of sugar.

9. What´s your favourite place in Helsinki?

Don´t really have any particular since I´m from porvoo and have only lived one year in helsinki. I would say majstranden because I spend a lot of my free time with my friends in their apartments.

10. What is your favourite amusement park?

I have been to quite many amusement parks here in Finland as a kid so a bit tricky question. I always wanted to go to Linnanmäki once every summer so probably that one.

6. When you were a kid, what did you want to become when you are big?

I dreamed I’d become a beautiful-influential-theoretical-physicist. Sometimes I was pleased to change to a beautiful pilot or a beautiful astronomer. All began with my consuming passion for Physics and numbers since grade 6. I invented a number of toys with simple motors like boats from styrofoam and cinematographs from old cartons. Of course back then home items were also excitingly “repaired” by me.

7. Why are you studying in Arcada?

At the time, after 2.5 years I had majored in Finance and Banking then come to a decision to quit, I turn more rational than ever in selecting university. Among my criteria, it must be a school where study programmes are fresh, flexible to be updated or restructured, and its students are provided with strong computer skills (For this point, I believe Arcada beat most other UAS around Finland). I chose Arcada. Now looking back after 2 years, I haven't regretted a minute. I’m glad that I can also learn 2 more languages in here. My study, work in ASK, friendship and great educational opportunities all make up a terrific experience.

8. What is your favourite coffee drink?

Rocky shores

10. What is your favourite amusement park?

I don’t know I feel a bit scared and lonely in amusement parks. Obviously no favourite.

5. What are your goals for your post?

6. When you were a kid, what did you want to become when you were big?

A Football Professional. That was the plan until I figured out many more interesting things in life as cars, engineering, management etc. The new dream is to become successful in whatever I do, if it’s entrepreneur or CEO - the main thing is to succeed and be happy with it!

7. Why are you studying in Arcada?

To me it seemed to be the best UAS in Helsinki, which offers also the possibility to learn Swedish. I’ve heard some good things about the school from friends and other people that studied here, so the decision was made and Arcada won the priority race over Haaga-Helia.

8. What is your favorite coffee drink?

I don’t go much for coffee - unless it’s free :D

9. What's your favorite place in Helsinki?

The rooftop of the building I live in (in Kamppi) / Hietaniemen Ranta - on top of the Rocks

10. What is your favorite amusement park?

Europa Park in Germany :) It has awesome roller coasters and tonnes of food!

6. When you were a kid, what did you want to become when you are big?

When I was a kid, I really wanted to be an astronaut! Then I figured out I’m terrified of even the thought of actually being in space, so nothing came of that.

7. Why are you studying in Arcada?

One of the reasons I study here is that Arcada is the only place in Finland where I can study what I want to study, in my language of choice - there are very few places for studying Film & TV in Finland, and Arcada’s the only one to offer this education in Swedish. I knew I didn’t want to move away from Helsinki, so the location also helped, and I’d heard a lot of good things about the education Arcada offers, about the quality of the teaching and the equipment and facilities the students get to use, so it felt like the right place for me!

8. What is your favourite coffee drink?

For me, it’s a tie between two coffee drinks - latte macchiato, which I started drinking after my brother, a barista, thought I might like it (he was right), and caramel coffee frappuchino, which is just the right amount of weird sugary caffeine-induced insanity to suit me perfectly!

9. What´s your favourite place in Helsinki?

I have so many favourite places in Helsinki, because I’ve always lived here or in Vantaa and it’s a really easy city to find nice locations in. I will narrow it down, though - my favourite places are the library near to where I live, one specific spot in Suomenlinna, and then my home.

10. What is your favourite amusement park?

I am slightly terrified of amusement parks, but I’m going to have to say Linnanmäki in Helsinki because it’s a) a place where I’ve learned to overcome a fair amount of my fears, b) I love cotton candy, and c) it’s the only amusement park I’ve been to, precisely due to being slightly terrified of amusement parks.
