Ethan Brown, Editor-in-chief

Hello gorgeous world! I am Ethan Brown, or EB — you know which one you're supposed to call me. I am one of this year's editors-in-chief (I'm the cute one)! This semester I plan to continue calling Ms. Keekley "Lori," spend an incessant amount of money at Zara, and continue to question why it is that Purple Rain is so entertaining despite being possibly the worst written and acted movie of all time. I pretty much live in the pub so tbh you're just not gonna see me in the halls much. My social media accounts are as follows:
