    Jessica Floum

    I’m 19 and from Gaithersburg, Maryland. I graduated from Landon School in Bethesda. My interests include music, music production, writing, the Humanities and enjoying myself. I’m an amateur music journalist and curate a music blog along with three of my close friends called Bright & Shiny. Above all, I consider myself a hooligan and despise writing my own biographies.I’m a freshman in Medill. I plan to major in either print/online journalism or magazine journalism, potentially with a double major in political science or history. But let’s not bore you. Coming from just outside of San Francisco, I’m a big fan of snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking and pretty much any other form of adventuring. I’ve bungee jumped in Costa Rica, repelled down waterfalls and undertaken a number of other semi-foolish exploits. If anyone is ever looking to check out something new, I’m up for it.

    Jessica Wang

    I’m an 18-year-old freshman from Fort Wayne, Ind., and any significant information about the Hoosier State’s second-largest city could easily be summarized before the upcoming period. I’ll be a freshman in the Medill School of Journalism pursuing its namesake major. However, they say journalism is dead. Well, they also said VHS tapes would be replaced by DVDs. My name is Chieh-Jung Wang. No, don’t try to pronounce that; you can just call me Jessica. I grew up in Diamond Bar, second home to the world’s Asian population. I moved to Clovis and attended Buchanan High School, known for hosting California state championships of all sorts, where I fueled my interest in reading, writing, and avoiding the sciences. I will be majoring in English and perhaps also in Pre-Law. You can find me in Chapin Hall, where I’ll be tearin’ up the second floor with my…Friday night junk food parties. Characters welcome.
