Dear Diary... Join intrepid Content Editor Elizabeth Phillips as she narrates the wild antics of the BGQ staff
September 16: Dear Diary... Sam wheels around the room, questioning if other staffers had ever direct messaged Drake before. Sadly, his quest was unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Aiden says, “Why don’t we just DM Pampers?” Minutes later, Sam and Aiden have crafted the so-called “perfect” DM to send to Kanye West while the rest of the staffers are cleaning up. Ted gets halfway through reading the DM and forces the phone back into Sam’s hand. Aiden, who has been working on the Drake DM, accidentally sends it unfinished. The bell rings and we are all forced to leave, meaning Aiden will have to wait to fix his mistake.

October 8: Dear Diary... Aiden wheels around the room, asking the three editors if we wanted to try a barbeque chip. After being rejected two out of three times, he stole a Jimmy John’s free sandwich card, saying “Finders keepers, losers weepers.” As soon as he said that, his airpods fell out of his pocket, and Ted eagerly grabbed them, saying once again, “Finders keepers, losers weepers.” Jesse told us he was named after a song. Sam questions what song it is and wrongfully looks up the theme song to the Disney Channel show “Jessie.” We then find out he meant “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield. He then reassured us that his full name isn’t actually Jessie’s Girl - just Jesse.

As we’re trying to figure out Issue Two, Aiden and Sam are throwing out absurd ideas, and no surprise here - they want to bring Drake v. Kanye back. Ted is upset because the bus story has been turned down yet again, despite Sam’s multiple attempts to persuade Mallory. Lucy has let a giggle escape today, which is a rare sighting in this class.
