Floor eight sketch

By Hannah Schmitz

Selfies, selfies and more selfies.

Selfies have been taken to a new level in the town of Taylor, which is located on floor eight of Mari Sandoz Hall.  Two citizens of Taylor have recently bought selfie sticks and they brought theses strange devices with them to Girls State.  The delegates on this floor have fun taking group selfies during town meetings, campaigning and while waiting in Girls State order.  This goes as proof that the town of Taylor is filled with fun personalities.

Not only have the delegates found amusement with selfie sticks, but with the game pterodactyl as well.  It all began when they were deciding on a town mascot.  The two choices were the Taylor Tapirs and the Taylor Pterodactyls.  After getting a good dose of giggles with listening to recordings of Tapir noises, the delegates voted the pterodactyl as their mascot.  This led to an intense game of Pterodactyl.  In the end, all the Taylor citizens were in fits of laughter.

The citizens of Taylor were not always so comfortable being together as a group.  After arriving on Sunday, many of the delegates chose to stay in their rooms.  The lobby remained empty and delegates only strayed away from their rooms when they absolutely had to.  Taylor was not shy and quiet for long.  At their first town meeting, delegates came out of their shells and practiced the town chant.  The next morning they all bonded over their favorite tunes from musicals such as Burlesque, Hairspray and Wicked.

Taylor is filled with fun personalities.  Each delegate has kept an open mind and never refrains from the exciting activities.  To experience the fun, visit floor eight during whistle stops.  Citizens will be caught strolling down the halls handing out candy and other goodies, jamming to their favorite songs and announcing their catchy slogans.  One who visits the Taylor Pterodactyls cannot be disappointed because they are undoubtedly in for a good time.
