Jane Anderson, Features Editor

Hey grandma! (and anyone who decided to check me out) I'm your entertainment editor because i'm super entertaining!!!!! If you have the pleasure of knowing me you'll know i'm super funny and cool. If you want to be awesome like me do tennis and ultimate frisbee and own a cat. Cats are great. Also wear crocs!!!! If someone ever tells you crocs are lame, they're WRONG!!! If you ever see me in the hallway and you're not sure it's me, just look at my feet and look for light blue crocs (hopefully pearl pink or white soon!) Hit me up on snap and start a streak with me:)) #IOnlySnapForTheStreak I drive a mini van that has peeling paint and dents, but I still drive in style rocking out to my country music. I hibernate during the winter and on Thursdays (most days), we wear sweatpants (@Elise). Odds are when I'm not at school I'm at home procrastination all things college and homework and watching The Office (I reference and quote it all the time)
Peace out fans!! Love you all<<3
xoxo
