B.R. Phillips

Even though she doesn't sit next to me in the seating chart (breakin the law aw yeah), I'm going to write about Bay Phillips, because we've been sitting next to each other for the better part of the semester and frankly I know her the best (sorry, Lauren and Abby, them's the breaks.)

I met Bay in freshman year. I had known her peripherally through friends for maybe a month or two, but we'd honestly never really interacted directly until she asked me to work with her on a project in Citizenship (we were in the same class). We exchanged email addresses, started chatting on Gmail here and there, and things took off from there.

Full disclosure: Bay has been one of my closest friends ever since then. Maybe that kind of defeats the purpose of this assignment, but it gives me a whole lot I can say about her.

For instance, I have learned in that time that Bay is a lady of passionate interests: she loves a few things in life and she loves them with all her heart. Among those things right now are: Homestuck, particularly fanfiction and roleplaying pertaining to a couple of characters that she loves, I think, more than her self; writing, particularly a novel she's been formulating in her head for a while now which I have no doubt will result in something spectacular; sharks, particularly thresher sharks, which are really just the cutest darn sharks you ever did see; the works of HP Lovecraft (and I'm sure she would love to explain to you what all this "cosmicism" stuff is about); and the musical creations of some guy named Renard that maybe you should check out some time. And yes, she has managed to pass on many of those (but not all) to me.

And what is she like? Quite the introvert, for sure. More the type of person to spend her night at her computer than at a party. But not uncaring of her friends either. From what I hear I think she likes us a lot. She's just someone who needs a healthy amount of space from time to time, and hey, who the heck doesn't? Often she's sensitive of the situation, and wary of starting a scene in the wrong place, but she's hardly afraid to tell you how she feels when it counts.

I feel like I may have gone on a bit too long here, so let me wrap this up by talking about where I see Bay in the future (five years is a little too soon, Mr. Logsdon - she'll barely be out of college). In the future I see Bay a successful writer, someone who loves writing because she loves the characters and the worlds she creates and wants to share them with everyone. I think she'll have a pretty successful series going before long, and I don't think it'll be hard to find fans of hers in the school we're going to today. Look for her on the top of the New York Times bestsellers list in the 2020s.

That's all I'll say about B.R. Phillips for now. I hope I didn't embarrass her too much with this, but thankfully I don't think many people read these anyway, so I think we'll be safe.
