APRIL 24, 2020 FROM MICHIGAN WITH LOVE BY EMMA KRUG DePauw University Honor Scholar Program, Class of 2020 PRIMARY THESIS SPONSOR: MICHAEL SINOWITZ Committee Members: Sylvia Yang and Harry Brown INTRODUCTION May 18, 2018 emmakrug: “will you congratulate my friend on graduating this weekend? i’ll screenshot and put it on my story!!” May 20, 2018 emmakrug: “odds you say hey” quinnxcii: “What’s up emma I appreciate the love! Tell ur friend I say congratulations!” So, you might say that Quinn XCII and I are best friends. Just notice his reply to me over direct message on Instagram 2 years ago. Now, this wasn’t my first attempt at trying to get his attention. If you had my phone, you would be able to scroll up and see that I had sent him half a dozen messages prior to this one but received no reply. After showing my friend Reilly and listening to her make fun of me and tell me I would never get an answer from our mutual favorite artist, I tried to prove her wrong by messaging him again on May 18th.
