“Hot Cheetos, pickles, Twizzlers, and cheese are disgusting.… Strawberries are not that good, and we all eat them because others do, and we just don’t wanna say it out loud that [they’re] quite frankly terrible.” – Stephanie Nuro-Gyina ’23
“Raccoons are cute and should be made legal to own as pets.” – Tony Wang ’22
