Rachel Martin
Health Goth

Triple Virgo Rachel Martin, writer/graphic designer for The Hoot, is the textbook example of someone who is living their high school years during college. After dissociating for nearly a decade, they have found themselves taking a liking in high bass avant-pop and mean ASMR. They aspire to do at least one push up and to eventually have their existence validated.

Cristina Argüelles
Female Himbo

Cristina blacked out in the Dominican Republic at some point in 2008; when she came to, she realized she was now a multimedia studies major at FAU. Her favorite pastime is buying all the supplies needed to start a hobby and promptly ditching said hobby after two days. You can find her around campus correcting people on the spelling of her first and last name.

Laura Gomez
Weeb Wannabe

Considered as fresh meat in the world of anime, this Graphic Designer has completely sold her soul to the non-existing characters on her computer screen. Apart from devoting herself to mastering the skill of reading subtitles & simping over 2D men, she enjoys working on her art business and staying up until 4am watching tiktoks. Needless to say, she’s your go-to gal when you need your energy to be matched. Everyone needs a Laura in their life.
