Emily Kavic is a 17-year-old aspiring to stir the souls of those around her. When her nose isn’t poked into one of Sartre’s works or a staple of nineteenth-century Russian literature, she can generally be found pondering the zeitgeist. Otherwise, she spends copious amounts of time with her two beloved Schnoodles, aptly Schnoodie and Cutie, respectively. As a matter of course, she is an avowed mint chip aficionado.
