Emily Anderson is a 20-year old who consistently oversleeps gets grumpy past 11:00 p.m. Anderson, a junior journalism and English major, would like to dabble in religious studies but doesn't think her parents would approve, and because she depends on their approval, she is somewhat contented to stay where she is. 

Anderson lives indoors, but would prefer to be back on a frozen lake in Minnesota where she built an igloo-tarp-dome from packed snow and tree branches. Because she slept through the night in doubled-up sleeping backs in an ice field, Anderson believes she is capable most things, and is prideful-and perhaps foolish- enough to speak her mind. 

She loves Flannery O'Connor as much as she loves the Reformation and tea as much as lemonade, gets frustrated by the evangelicals of her youth and likes tilt-a-whirls. She loves her cats and dog, misses her parents when she doesn't see them for months at a time, and argues just so her boyfriend will keep talking-just for a little longer.

She collects water bottles, thermoses, coffee cups and backpacks. To make her happy just give her a G2-07 pen or pick her a flower. She really likes magnolia blossoms.
