Flyer News: How is life on 120 Evanston treating you?

Marissa Danese: It's been awesome.

Rachel Ptak: Lots of work but lots of fun.

Jacky Liston: The street's a nice balance of quiet but a good party street at the same time.

RP: The driveway is phenomenal. Complete with a sign that says "Parking for 120 Evanston."



FN: What should everyone know about you or your house?

MD: We watch a ridiculous amount of E!.

RP: E! is like the white noise in the house.

MD: We're also really, really excited for the Olympics ... And we have someone who is our unofficial fifth roommate. He lives down Evanston,

but he thinks he lives here.





Cindy Boyce: Sometimes he steals Jacky's key. He literally broke into our house and made mac and cheese. He has some boundary issues with our house.

MD: We didn't tell him when this was, or he would have tried to get in the picture.

JL: We also have a house mascot. Her name is Princess Christy Sparkles Queenz ... partially named after a girl from "Toddlers and Tiaras."



FN: What's your most memorable moment at 120 Evanston?

JL: Marissa falling the day we moved in. Our kitchen floor is very uneven, and Marissa got up on a chair to put some paper towels above the cabinets, and the chair literally just slid out from underneath her, and she had the biggest bruise I've ever seen here. We thought her femur was broken.

MD: It was quite a disaster for the first day being in 120 Evanston.



FN: What's a must-have for a 120 Evanston party?

MD: Good music. We tend to play a lot of the same songs on repeat. Like "Bad Romance" and "Party in the USA."

RP: I don't know if we do that or if it's just others that play them nonstop.

CB: No, I do that.

FN: When you open your fridge, what's usually in it?

CB: Lots of cheese.

RP: It's a staple for the college diet.

JL: I eat a lot of cottage cheese ... It has only been a week since I've eaten the whole tub.

RP: I have to eat Land O'Lakes butter. I think it's so tasty.



FN: What's the biggest perk about living here?

JL: The huge kitchen is nice.

RP: It's really big for four people. I also like the double staircase, too.

CB: We have a really big backyard.

RP: I enjoy the breakfast nook.



FN: Any downfalls to 120 Evanston?

CB: The heating.

JL: It's always too hot or cold.

MD: Two of the burners don't work. Our door never closes.

JL: Maintenance hates us.

RP: We put in a lot of work orders at the beginning of the year.



FN: Any final thoughts or philosophies?

MD: Time goes by really fast.

RP: Senior year is so short.

MD: One of my friends was talking to me when we were driving back to school; he was just like, "Don't wish away your last semester."
