“What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?”
 
“Do what makes you happy. I don’t know if that’s corny, but don’t put anything else before that.”
 
“Who told you that?”
 
“My best friend went into the wilderness for several months, and was in the middle of nowhere alone with his thoughts. He told me that. I found that after I lived by that advice for a while, I really began to become noticeably happier.”

Hunter Laningham is a fourth year English major at Cal Poly and her life never ceases to be interesting. She enjoys listening to rock music, writing various readable things, and spending time outdoors, primarily in forests. Hunter recently returned from an unexpected journey much like Bilbo's which, funnily enough, actually included a dragon. She loved her time in Central Europe and even made it to Iceland, but she's always happy to be back in SLO. Hunter is currently working on her first novel and hopes to finish it before she's 100. Catch her on campus, downtown, or on a mountain and strike up a conversation. She's friendly but shy, so just hold out your hand and talk softly and she'll come to you.
Nesrine suffers from a severe addiction to cereal and gets really jazzed about words, visuals, metaphors, and music. She's in her second year studying Sociology, Religous Studies, and Media Arts and Technology at the good, old Cal Poly SLO. If you stumble upon her in her natural habit, chances are she will either be cracking SpongeBob jokes, obsessing over mountains in Iceland, or mentally arguing with herself on whether or not this bio is sufficient.
