This time on Meet the Editor, we have Melissa! Melissa is an amazing person and we are thrilled to have her! Penelope enjoyed helping her study for her finals, going to see an improv show, and going to Panera! Here are some fun facts about Melissa!

What is the most beautiful word you can think of?
A word that I find beautiful is “enthralling.” I just think it sounds majestic.

Favorite childhood book?
The first book I ever loved was Goodnight Moon. When I got a bit older, I enjoyed series like Junie B. Jones, the Magic Tree House, and Nancy Drew.

What’s the best costume you’ve ever worn on Halloween?
I once dressed up as my pet guinea pig. I don’t think anyone knew what I was supposed to be though.

You can talk to animals! What’s the first thing you do?
I would apologize to cats for avoiding them because of my allergies.

What Disney character would you want as your best friend?
Pretty much any of the newsboys from Newsies. They count, right?

This time on Meet The Editor, we are pleased to introduce you to Shay! Shay and Penelope enjoyed their time together by attending Shay's thesis reading at Prout, spending time in the office, enjoying a coffee break, hanging out with friends, and so much more! Here are some fun facts about Shay!

Fave movie line and from what movie?
"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die." (Princess Bride)

What is the most beautiful word you can think of?
Defenestrate, because it's fun to say and I love that there's even a word for what it means. (Definition: to throw someone out of a window)

Favorite childhood book?
Coraline, but if we're talking like "children" childhood book, then Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

What's the best costume you've ever worn on Halloween?
Taako (from TV)

Which element would you want to control as a superpower?
Fire

What Disney character would you want as your best friend? (animal sidekicks included)
Probably Moana in terms of who I'd want to hang out with the most, but Maleficent would also be pretty cool to befriend since she a) has some awesome powers and b) could grant me awesome powers as well.

Up next on MEET THE EDITOR is our Fiction Editor, Lillian King and Penelope! Lillian is a Creative Writing major with a History minor. She and Penelope had a fun filled week of writing and nachos! Here are some fun facts about Lillian!

Fave movie line and from what movie?
“My favorite movie line is from The Two Towers (I believe it’s right at the end) where Sam is convincing Frodo that saving the world is worth it (they’ve had a rough time) and he says, “Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.” Frodo asks, “What are we holding on to, Sam?” and he replies “That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.” And that’s my favorite quote. “

If you had a "Treat Yo Self" day, what would you do?
“Play Dishonored 2 until I physically starve to death.”

If you could be a member of a family in either a movie or TV, what would it be?
“Objectively, being a Simpson would be terrible, but…I wanna help Bart have his gay awakening. Gaywakening, if you will.”

Favorite childhood book?
“The Hobbit, by Tolkien. I used to pretend I was with the thirteen Dwarves in my backyard and that all we had to eat was some salt I had poured in my hand.”

What's the best costume you've ever worn on Halloween?
“I may have had better ones, but the best one I can remember is voting early last year as President John Quincy Adams.”
