Flyer News: How did you girls meet?

Alyssa Marynowski:  Three Adele for some of us freshman year, and Hayley lived with us sophomore year in Gardens apartments.

 

FN: What is your favorite thing about living on Lawnview?

Hayley O’Reilly: Proximity, definitely. And sunsets.

Emma Kiefer: Oh, I was pointing to the sandwich truck pulled up outside.

HO: Proximity, sandwich trucks and sunsets.

AM: I also like being right on the corner of Lowes, because we get the benefits of being on Lowes …

Jackie Leffelman: Without being on Lowes.

 

FN: What is your least favorite thing about living on Lawnview?

HO: Nothing.

JL: I don’t think there’s anything.

HO: I mean, Lawnview apartments block the quality sunsets.

AM: I’d like living in a house with another bathroom, if another street could provide that.

 

FN: If you could change one thing about your house, what would it be?

All: Bathroom.

HO: The shower sucks. If the bathroom was bigger and the shower was better, it would be better. Or if you could use more than one water source at a time.

EK: You can’t wash the dishes and go to the bathroom.

 

FN: What does a typical Saturday night at 202 look like?

HO: Messy.

Kara Walsh: We’re usually with our neighbors.

AM: People in and out; a lot of shots.

HO: Wine glasses and shot glasses. We all get ready together.

JL: Lots of wine and shots.

 

FN: What about a typical Sunday morning?

EK: Oh, rough.

KW: Everyone is asleep.

HO: We all have morning meetings in Kara’s room, and then we come downstairs and lay on the floor.

JL: We have cave hours. We all make beds on the floor and lay around and watch movies all day.

HO: I hope my parents don’t see this. They will be like “I’m paying for that?”

 

FN: What song describes the house dynamic?

EK: “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips.

HO: Can we attach the video for that comment?

JL: I hope people know what song that is.

HO: Yes they will, because they’ve all been to Milano’s and Tim’s when it’s played when Emma requests it. It does make sense … “hold on for one more day.”

EK: Yeah, survive until the weekend.

HO: No, I mean we’re all seniors.

 

FN: If 202 were made into a reality show, what would the title be?

HO: Oh, God.

AM: “Reasons not to be an education major.”

KW: “True Life: I’m an education major.”

AM: “True Life: I live with four education majors, buy me a gun.”

HO: I also hate my roommates if that’s what they’re saying. We’d be a good reality show, we’d be funny.

EK: No, you think you’re funny.

 

FN: What is one word that describes your house?

EK: Energetic.

KW: Happy.

AM: Cluttered.

KO: In many forms of the word.

JL: Cozy. It’s very cozy and homey.

AM: That’s a nice form of the word “cluttered.”

KO: I can’t decide between fun or loved. I’ll go with fun. I’m so funny and I’m fun.

 

FN: Any last words for Flyer News?

AM: You can’t make us leave.

JL: We are never leaving our porch.

KW: Alyssa has never referred to the word “graduation.”

HO: We refer to it as “the G-word.”

AM: They should have Public Safety waiting after graduation to escort me out of the house.
