What’s it like going to Tufts with your cousin?

Emily: It’s amazing! We’re like best friends. And sometimes people think we’re twins, it’s hilarious.

Riley: When I had a fake cousin…

Emily: …and I started seeing him.

Riley: So people thought my cousins were dating.

Favorite study spots?

Emily: A secret nook in Ginn.

Biggest phobia?

Riley: Grasshoppers, crickets, cockroaches, and gluten.

Emily: Anchors (when they’re in the water). Also, getting crushed by a human pyramid.

Weirdest Tufts experience together?

Riley: One time, we almost got kidnapped together by “CJ and Jerry” (that’s what they called themselves). They even showed us the trunk of their car.  

Emily: It was so sketchy.

If you guys were emojis, what emojis would you be?

 

Pregame ritual?

Riley: Dance party to Hannah Montana.

Emily: Usually we also have to give each other pep talks because we are too lazy to actually do things.

Who sends the best snap chats?

Riley: Emily. I’m more of a screenshotter.

Emily: Me… but Riley’s are more frequent.

Advice to anyone trying to ~woo~ you guys?

Riley: Nerdy jokes.

Guilty pleasure?

Riley: Old spice deodorant for men. I wear Swagger or Bear Glove. Also, lawn-mowing, horror movies, & rollerblading.
