Hey everyone, I’m Billy Stevens, and I’m a sophomore. This is my first year in newspaper. I don’t do much but sleep and watch Netflix, most recently Skins. I’m a staff writer so I’m just a slave in this whole newspaper operation. I’m just kidding. Only sort of. I like car rides with the windows down. I enjoy music, but, more importantly, I love Lana Del Rey. Follow me on Twitter @billy_stevens3, sometimes I’m funny on there. I really don’t like talking about myself, so lucky for both of us, my poorly constructed bio is over. Cioa.
