The 5 Types of Exonian Writer

1. The Sunday Night Writer—Whenever Sunday night rolls around, The Sunday Night Writer is scrambling around his/her dorm for quotes, the 10:00 pm deadline quickly approaching. Sometimes, this kid never gets a response from any sent emails for interviews, and other times, this kid hasn’t sent any emails at all.

2. The Senior Spotlight Writer—Each of this kid’s articles starts with “Whether he/she’s running X club, leading Y sports teams, or researching Z amazing subject, this senior has an important presence on campus.” Whether this writer is interviewing seniors, working with a co-writer, or signing up for articles, The Senior Spotlight Writer is truly a respectable Exonian Writer.

3. The Humor Writer.

4. The Lazy Quoter—The quotes this kid gets solely come from his/her group of friends and the people living on his/her floor of the dorm. The Lazy Quoter’s paragraphs consist of large quote paragraphs followed by “he said” or “she said.” This kid never bothers to fix quotes when they don’t make sense. After all, that’s what the copy editors are for, right?

5. The Diligent Prep—The Diligent Prep is always at Exonian meetings ten minutes early, eager and ready to get the next four articles for the week. He/she sends emails to everyone for quotes and makes sure to always follow up for quote confirmation. Find this kid as the Editor-in-Chief three years later.
