Who's Behind 'Stuff GW People Like'? An Interview with the Author

For her, it started as just a screen name, a gateway to follow friends on the growing blog site Tumblr. Little did she know, this screen name would spark a whole new arena of GW gossip. The inspiration for “Stuff GW People Like” struck while a freshman student (who asked to remain anonymous) was waiting lazily at the airport for her flight.

“When I was at the airport I just made a huge list of things that I thought were funny,” she said. “Up until this point, I have been following that same list for the most part.”

Stuff GW People Like has become a GW centerpiece, sparking conversation, curiosity, and controversy. This has all fed the question; who is behind the idea and the conversation?

The writer, who has asked to remain anonymous, has kept her blog separate from other aspects of her life.

“My friends who do know I write it always tell me about kids in their classes who were talking about the blog” she said.

Now, as the blog has reached more than 450 followers on Tumblr, and 1,200 on Facebook, her motivations about the website remain the same; to keep writing until there is nothing more to write about.
