Your favorite study spot is: The coffee shop a few blocks off campus where no one knows me, allowing me the solitude to reflect on the general meaninglessness of life. My dorm room, in a carefully calibrated environment that lets me best use the precise two hours I have before practice. Out on the quad where I can catch frisbees between chapters. The cafe at the library. Gotta say hi to my crew! Your favorite citation style is: MLA. It’s a classic! APA. It means business Chicago. It’s so bleak. Err, there’s more than one style?

Swift. Just don’t put three of you together or you become an open-ended ellipsis. *Shudder* Exclamation point You’re the bubbly one, the life of the party, the ultimate extravert! A lover of study sessions and group texts that annoy everyone else, you convey enthusiasm wherever you go. Now who wants to hang out?! Semicolon Mysterious, inscrutable, alluring; like this punctuation mark, no one is quite sure what to do with you. Raised on candy cigarettes and weaned on Godard films, you’re double majoring in French and nihilism. C’est quoi, la vie?
