Savannah Sommer

What college are you applying to / going to?

I’ve applied to UGA and Georgia Tech.

Who was your first Wesleyan crush?

Dylan Jenkins.

What was your most embarrassing Wesleyan moment?

Freshman year, I didn’t understand how our softball season worked (I had never played for school before) so after we lost in the first round of  the state tournament, I asked the juniors if we had practice the next day, but our season was over and they gave me a hard time about that for the next two years.

What is one thing you wished you had done in high school?

A play.

If you had 24 hours left to live, what would you do?

Drive fast and eat a lot of good food.

What was your dream job when you were a little kid versus what is your dream job now?

My dream job when I was a kid was being a lawyer, but now my dream job is a businesswoman. Keep Reading

As the 2019 New Year’s party decorations are taken off the shelves, red and pink petals and chocolate boxes are exchanged for shoppers who desire the sentiments of the impending commercial holiday. On Feb. 14, there are two sides of differing emotions: those who cannot wait to receive love letters and the temporary signs of love from their significant other, contrary to those who are left afflicted, soaking in their misery and heartbreak.

When the term slavery comes up in today’s culture, it is easy to think of it as a crime of the past. But in fact, it is the exact opposite. The estimated number of slaves around the world today is around 40 million, which is higher than it was when slavery was legal throughout the 19th century. And the number of enslaved people is constantly increasing. Today, slavery is the fastest growing crime in the world (End It Movement).
