Staff Profile
Maddy Kennedy –– Fashion Editor
Growing up in the Jersey Shore, Madeline Kennedy, had what seemed to be a normal childhood. As a toddler, her crib mate, The Situation, called her fat, and she promptly slapped him. Her favorite past times include getting her GTL on, and fist pumping like a champ. Unfortunately her stint on the Jersey Shore came to an abrupt halt when she was forced to move to the way too normal state of Minnesota. As a way to cope with the move, she invented imaginary friends named J-Pow, the Incident, and Mookie, and calls her town EP-shore. So now if you see her talking to herself, you know why, and don’t be afraid to say hi to her and her imaginary friends if you see them fist pumping their way down the hallway.

I beamed at my little dog, Zoey, with pride. No, she didn't do anything cute or perform a death-defying trick, but she was pulling off her new summer dress and looking super fierce.
