Emily Turner is a Freshman at Princeton University and is missing California weather right now. She was born and lives in the OC and, yes, is obsessed with the show that makes her and her friends look like complete fools. (Although somehow they take pride in the appalling, catty nature of the show.) And no she doesn’t have a delinquent living in her pool house and she hasn’t kissed any gardeners…yet. Although her Mother is an Interior decorator and her Father is a developer, she assures us that her life is much more normal than that of the show. (Sorry to disappoint you with the newly discovered fact that TV isn’t actually real.) Emily is a Leo and feels that there is, rather, a tiger inside her. She plays volleyball for the Princeton University tigers and was most recently on the team that won the Ivy Title. (Congrats to her.) She has told us that writing and art “are really not her things� but she has enjoyed this class despite that. She wants to thank her crazy, belligerent classmates who never let her get a word in but always kept her entertained. Emily chose to write on Mary Cassatt because someone told her it was a good idea and she didn’t know any better.
