JEOPARDY CONTESTANT AND JONAS BROTHERS GROUPIE

Name: Erica Elizabeth Mariam Greil
Age: 22
Major: Anthropology
Hometown: Hastings, MN
Eating club/residential college/affiliation: Terrace F. Club!

Who’s your favorite Princetonian, living or dead, real or fictional?
It’s a complete cop-out, but I have to say Aaron Burr. Something about that story combined with last year’s Triangle bit combined with memories of Got Milk commercials growing up has thoroughly convinced me that he is the best. My favorite fictional Princetonian is probably Doogie Howser, MD.

What’s the best meal you’ve eaten in Princeton?
Moving in freshman year, I had lunch at Mezzaluna with my parents – fried calamari, a chicken breast, brie, and apple butter sandwich, and something delicious for dessert which I don’t remember. Mezzaluna’s been my favorite ever since, and whenever I have someone paying for my meal, I request to go there.

In one sentence, what do you actually do all day?
I sleep as late as possible, use the internet until there is no more to be used, then (theoretically) work until I pass out.

What is your greatest guilty pleasure?
The Disney Channel. Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, all that jazz – and I have no regrets about that. If I could spend all my Jeopardy winnings on becoming a Jonas Brothers groupie without being morally sanctioned by society, I would.

QUIPFIRE/DAILY PRINCE COLUMNIST AMALGAM A FAN OF NEITHER LEFT NOR RIGHT

Name: Becca Foresman
Age: 20
Major: French & Italian, Theater & Dance Certificate
Hometown: San Diego
Eating club/residential college/affiliation: Tower

Who’s your favorite Princetonian, living or dead, real or fictional?
Fitzgerald. There’s a story that once, in the throes of a tirade against the rich and privileged, he said to Hemingway; “What is it that makes them so damned different from us? WHAT?” Hemingway looked at him for a long moment. “Money, Scott.” And he was married to a woman named Zelda.

What’s the best meal you’ve eaten in Princeton?
Fresh kettle corn on Dean’s Date of sophomore year spring. With friends on the grass, under the sun, papers done, free t-shirt.

In one sentence, what do you actually do all day?
Eavesdrop on conversations in foreign languages and try to guess what they’re talking about (who are these middle-aged Russian couples that are always touring the campus during the ugliest months of the year?)

What is your greatest guilty pleasure?
Double dessert. Guilty, but not infrequent.

What’s the last student performance you saw?
Metamorphoses at Theater Intime, I think.

Do you know all the words to Old Nassau?
Just got to land “praise,” “Nassau,” “Hurrah,” and look enthusiastic about the arm thrust.

The smell of B-floor Firestone.

Jimmy Stewart. When I was first thinking about Princeton, I visited LA, and when I saw his handprints (at Grauman’s Chinese Theater), I put mine on top and they fit perfectly. I took it as a sign and that’s partially why I’m here right now (I’m a very indecisive person…)

SACHS SCHOLAR DUMPSTER DIVES, FIGHTS SCARY CITADEL CADETS, & SCREAMS LIKE A GIRL (refer to video after the jump)

Who’s your favorite Princetonian, living or dead, real or fictional?
Sean Gleason.

Sit around and read about people who are trying to change the world, and try to figure out why everything still sucks.

What is your greatest guilty pleasure?
Tormenting librarians. There’s nothing that I get more of a kick out of than wandering into a university at library at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday and joining the band in a serenade of “Tequila.” We were definitely not planning to do that at the Citadel before our plans were derailed by the cadets attacking us.
