Meet Em

Em is that girl that thinks she is apart of the hockey team, yet she is just the water girl. She can be found running down the hallway wanting high fives and claiming it will build camaraderie, yet who really knows what that is these days? If you ask her what her biggest guilty pleasure is, she will sheepishly answer the question by showing you her Spotify full of Broadway soundtracks.
