Southerner: Who do you feel is an overrated musician or celebrity?

Russler: “I mean currently, I would say Taylor Swift’s newest album is not very good. I mean, some of her old music is creative and expressive. Like ‘Evermore,’ you can tell she put a lot of thought and soul into that album, but with her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ it’s devoid of any creativity.”

Southerner: Who do you feel is an underrated musician or celebrity?

Russler: “Chappell Roan! Like, she is still on her come up, and I think she has a lot of potential. She is going to be the next pop ‘it girl,’ if she isn’t already.”

Southerner: What does dinner time look like at your house?

Russler: “It depends. On the weekends, we all eat together as a family, or we try to. But, on weeknights, we all have different activities. My brother has sports practices almost every night, so we eat at different times. Most of the time we eat early too, like 4 o’clock.”

Southerner: What is your favorite thing to do over the weekends?

Russler: “I like laying in my bed, scrolling on my phone.”

Southerner: Would you rather read a book or watch a movie? 

Russler: “Watch a movie, I used to read books all the time, like I had at least five books in my backpack every day, but in middle school, I started to get made fun of, so I stopped.”

Southerner: What do you like most about school?

Russler: “I like seeing my friends and my theater classes; those are the highlights of my day.”

Southerner: What do you like least about school?

Russler: “I don’t like all the people, and I don’t like how we have to learn about stupid stuff. I don’t think I will use half the things I learn in science.”

Southerner: Would you rather do a school project by yourself or with friends?

Russler: “Historically, I loved working by myself, but now I see the benefit of working with other people.” 

Southerner: Would you rather have a dog or a cat?

Russler: “Both. I think I see myself having either one in the future.”

Southerner: Would you rather win the lottery or be famous?

Russler: “I would rather be famous because I love attention.”
