With The Campanile’s own Joanna Falla
The Campanile: Okay Laura so what’s good?
Laura Sieh: I’m … very good.
TC: So during Spirit Week, you had a tendency to dress up but not with your own class. Do you care to elaborate?
LS: I consider myself as kind of a freedom fighter of sorts, so yeah.
TC: So what did you dress as this year?
LS: Um, on the color day I dressed in red, which is the sophomore color.
TC: Why?
LS: Because I didn’t dress up on the other days, so that was my contribution.
TC: What’s the worst part about junior year?
LS: At this point it’s mostly the classes that you have. Also I’m doing like, I wouldn’t say this is the worst part, but I have a lot of work this year. I’m writing for Verde, I’m also involved with Paly Theater, I wrote some of the music for “The Odyssey”, and I was also involved in “Shrek” as a musician and a performer.
TC: How’s taking PE junior year?
LS: I was actually enrolled in dance.
TC: Oh, sorry. How’s working with Mrs. Gibson in the dance studio?
LS: I’m actually not taking dance. I’m enrolled in it senior year.
TC: What? What are you taking now?
LS: I added Physics. I mean [next year] I might take PE instead, because like with PE it’s zero period, you know, but I’m just considering my options.
TC: If you could describe yourself in three words or less what would it be?
LS: *three minutes of silence* Persistent, impatient and light-hearted.
TC: What’s your advice for the underclassmen?
LS: Buy me food at Town and Country.
TC: What would you say your aesthetic is?
LS: Well in terms of fashion it would just be more like whatever I have in my closet, in terms of like my work and stuff I would say I like it pretty clean, pretty organized.
TC: On your Facebook and through other social media you definitely have a different style, especially your profile pictures. Would you consider your presence on social media as eccentric or iconic?
LS: Yeah, yeah. I would definitely say that I have a pretty eccentric social media presence but I don’t have a lot of followers and stuff like that so if y’all wanna follow me that’s @usadice on twitter, guys.
TC: Do you consider yourself a class clown of sorts in any of your classes?
LS: Not really, I’m more of a class … I’m a prophet.
TC: Could you elaborate?
LS: Well I speak the truth and I speak the whole-hearted truth, and no one can get me, not even … I will be unrestrained by the law, because I am a wild … west.
TC: What do you think you’ll get for senior polls next year?
LS: Um, I’ll probably get Scrawny to Brawny because like, I’ve been really working it at the gym and if you guys see me, I’m getting major gains.
TC: Do you have any last words for Paly?
LS: Honestly I think this whole interview is a PR disaster so … I’ll have to talk to my publicist about this.
TC: Do you want to say anything else for the people?
LS: …
TC: You can say no, Laura.
