The class of 2025 is on their way into the adult world.
After 13 rigorous years of education, the senior class of 2025 is on their way into the world. The Scroll would like to take the time to honor each of our senior writers who are graduating this year.
Averie Black has been a part of The Scroll for four years. She runs PR and is responsible for all the announcements made on Instagram. Additionally, she runs Creative Corner and started giving prizes for student-written short stories and poems. She is going to the University of Oregon in pursuit of a Bachelor's in Advertising after high school. Her favorite song at the moment is “Bikini Kill” by Demi Rap, and she would be a pigeon or a mouse if she were an animal. If she were placed in Charlie Swan’s shoes– from the popular paranormal romance trilogy Twilight– she says she would “Let my daughter go and do nothing, I could not take [Edward Cullen] down.” If she could be any Disney Channel character, then she would be Stevie from Wizards of Waverly Place because “she was a baddie." Her favorite part of Tumblr culture was when people shared fake stories: “I like it when people just go on Tumblr and lie. I think people should lie more often. It's funny.” Her parting message to The Scroll is “I love you?"
Peter Easterwood has been a writer for four years. He specializes in satire and music articles. He plans on going into mechanical engineering through Rogue Community College, except now he is a little worried about the stability of that job with the recent advancements in technology. He looks back on high school and declares that he was happy with how he ended but not where he began. His favorite color is red because “I look at it and I’m like, wow, that’s a cool color.” His grocery store of choice is Trader Joe's where he enjoys their mac and cheese. His advice to elementary schoolers is “Don’t die because my friend died in first grade. I shouldn’t say it like that. True story, though. ATV accident.” He believes that the mullet haircut is the best to exist and states that either Spongebob or The Amazing World of Gumball were the best shows from his childhood. When asked about trends, he wants to “Bring back Corpse Husband deep voices. I went on Fornite and faked my voice all the time.” His parting message to The Scroll is “No one's gonna care about my message. Do whatever you want cause no one's gonna care. I threw a bag of caramel on the floor and no one looked. There's an example of no one caring. Be yourself 'cause I also tried to fake my voice and that didn’t work.”
Tessa Hager has been a part of The Scroll for nearly four years. Currently, she holds the title of president. However, she has consistently written a range of satirical and informative articles. She created and ran the Kenergy column and has been a frequently seen author in the satire section of The Scroll. After high school, she is going to the University of Oregon to go into business with a concentration in marketing. Her favorite subject during school was journalism, and her least favorite part of senior year was tutoring. Her advice for incoming freshmen is “Have Kenergy, be Kenergetic, and be happy…hone in on it and be Kenergetic always.” This follows her love of the Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. She assured The Scroll that she saw the movie eight times in the theater. If Hager could be any animal, then she would be a cat because they get to sit inside and roll around in the sun all day. Her favorite frozen meal is panko breaded chicken nuggets with thick-cut fries drizzled in ranch. She leaves The Scroll with the final words, “Also, I got my brain cut out of my nose.”
The Scroll wishes its seniors good luck in the adult world. It was great having them, and they have helped contribute articles that have made The Scroll what it is today. Thank you, seniors!
