Alison used to be first alphabetically at the Writing Center, until Abby swooped in to claim the title. She is majoring in English and finds joy in rainy days and punctuation. She is currently battling a three-year addiction to chapstick and a debilitating fear of ceiling fans. In her spare time, Alison enjoys pickled ocra, the Beatles, and fighting for the subjunctive. Alison dreams of one day becoming a hermit and living in a cabin in the backwoods of Tennessee.
