Student Sounds Coherent in Newspaper Interview

Amanda Damone

The stars aligned this week when freshman Lillian Ward was accurately quoted in a local newspaper. She reportedly relayed intelligent details on a topic she was well prepared to discuss the day of the talks.

Despite being “quite nervous,” Ward, a psychology major, “re-membered to use the correct verb tenses for all of [her] sentences, none of which were fragments.”

“I swear to God, it was great,” she added.

Sources confirm Ward’s opinion on the given topic as being “strong and clearly communicated,” delivered in “[smooth] and easily identifiable English,” and “directly relating to the questions that were asked of her.”

While many fall back on their local dialect and accents when put under pressure, Ward said her “crazy-ass Boston accent didn’t shine too brightly, and I politely thanked the journalist for taking the time to get my opinion on the topic.”

“It was all about the interviewer. It was honestly all him,” the modest Ward insisted, praising the questions he posed as having been “phrased really nicely.”

When approached for comment, the interviewer eloquently explained the good fortune of all involved in the interview as “like all about where it happened because that’s when you know that it’s going to be a wicked one to have and to be doing at this point.”
