The Storm 91-9 Ethyn Snider,

has worked for The Storm for two semesters. His favorite part about working at the station is getting to talk about his favorite music at his job.

Getting to do something he loves while working is what initially drew him to the job!

"Personally, I love Hip Hop and R&B", Ethyn says. His favorite artists are Snoop Dog and Ice Cube.

After he graduates college, Ethyn plans to move somewhere warm like Florida. He also hopes to spend a couple of years traveling the country just to experience different places. Be sure you listen to the Ethyn With A Y show on 91.9! The show airs on weekdays from 3-7.

THE CAMPUS NOTE

Who's Hot? Kai Bunch is!

Kai is a Criminal Justice major and a Spanish minor. She is originally from Pampangga, Philippines and her hometown is Silo, OK. What are you involved in on campus?

I cheer for Savage Storm and perform in the color guard for the Spirit of Southeastern marching band. I'm a proud member of Women Empowered and hold a couples of roles with Housing and Residence Life!

What's something you binge on Netflix? I've watched The Sinner three times! I love the investigation techniques that they use.

Favorite book? There's so many to choose from, but Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury!

KAI

THE CAMPUS NOTE

How old were you when you started cheering and color guard? I started cheer/dance at 5 and color guard when I was 12. We had a different kind of cheer/color guard in the Philippines, so I started American cheer and guard when I immigrated here at 16!

On a road-trip do you jam out to music or listen to music? I listen to music during road-trips, it's my favorite part!

Why did you decide to take cheer and guard to the collegiate level? I want to make the little girl who started cheer and guard so many years ago proud, and for my future self to one day have these memories. My love for both of these organizations keeps me going through the early mornings and late nights.

Rom-Com movie review By: Hannah Macy Set It Up (2018) stars four main characters, Zoey Deutch (Harper), Glen Powell (Charlie Young), Lucy Lui (Kirstein Stevens), and Taye Diggs (Richard “Rick” Otis). Harper and Charlie are both assistants to Kirsten and Richard, their bosses. In an attempt to get their bosses to stop overworking them, Harper and Charlie come up with a plan to strategically make Kirstein and Richard cross paths

It is definitely cheesy, but it had a funny and active storyline.

Overall, a good movie though! I think anyone who watches this movie will not only get a laugh, but a little tug on the heartstrings as well. Overall, Set It Up is a movie worth watching if you want something to keep you on your toes, and your box of tissues nearby.
