Observe how the wild Hayli emerges from her den to wander out in the open. A subspecies of writer, the wild Hayli can become nervous in large groups, especially when the group has gotten a hold of her first drafts. The wild Hayli can easily be tracked by the three-and-a-half-foot long golden hairs shed by her in large quantities everywhere she goes. For years, now, experts have been trying to classify the wild Hayli’s hair as an organism of its own, as…

Hey whats up I’m Amanda and I loveeee film. So some background first, my dad is an actor and he’s been one ever since college so I got to grow up with movie posters in my living room. He has these really old and worn ones for Casablanca and A Street Car Named Desire that I used to love before I had even seen the movies. So as one can guess, film was just always a part of my life. From my dad telling me about…

Audio Bio: Megan Shaffer
(OMINOUS SOUND) Welcome to Megan’s Medical Morge. Hello, my name is Megan Shaffer and I’m 5’11. That is usually not relevant, but it is for my life because I am the clumsiest person in the world (CARTOON SLIPS) but also someone who used to try to avoid attention, and being this tall, it was impossible to hide in a crowd of people. The higher my face off the ground (CARTOON FALLING), the more air I could fall through to fall on…
Audio Bio: Alyssa Clauhs
I had this diary in high school that was angsty as you’d expect and to a certain extent uniformed. Hello everyone, my name is Alyssa, and I’m about to read you my high school diary. May 1, 2014 Prom is next year and I’m worried I won’t get a date. Maybe I’ll put an ad in the newspaper. I know that would be weird, but I could make a list of qualifications and…

[groovy electric guitar intro, fading to a lower volume] When I was 15, I ran over a moose. [moose bellow] It had already been hit by another car way up ahead of me, so it was just lying there on the ground across the entire lane. It had been nighttime in upstate New Hampshire. My parents and I had been coming home after visiting a college, and my mom and…

(Jazzy music intro) When I was 4, a bee flew up my dress and stung my back a few times. My mom, being the caring new mother, she was, rushed her crying daughter to the closest ER (insert ambulance sounds) because this was my first bee sting, and she was worried that I could have possibly been allergic. Well I wasn’t. Apparently by the time she arrived I was fine, just a few welts…

Every college student complains about how little they sleep. On average, college kids are sleeping about 6 hours every night (https://www.uhs.uga.edu/sleep) (allegedly) but from my experience, that number seems astronomically high. If I were to survey every student here, I’m sure that range would be much, much smaller. In school, it seems like everyone is up at this time, and college students live an entire second day, but at night. People are…
Audio Bio: Kay Hammond
Hello, my name’s Kay, and I hate labels. Please note that all of what I have to say about labels is informed by my own experiences. This is my opinion, and there are certainly people who don’t agree with me, but I’m hoping I can at least explain and share my perspective with you. We need labels to describe the world around us, it’s how we communicate. We look at…
