Kyle Schaudt is the coolest freshman ever

Kayla Schaudt • January 25, 2012

Kyle Schaudt freshman band, ultimate frisbee, cross country What’s your favorite Pokemon and why? Machamp because he has four arms which is cool because he’s a karate dude… Never mind, he’s weird, he wears underwear all the time. What makes you different from the average freshman? I have curly hair. Oh, I’m so clever. What’s your coolest talent? I tried whittling once. It sucked. That doesn’t make any sense, I only said that because you said I whittled. If you were a superhero, what would your power be? The Green Arrow is my favorite superhero. He doesn’t really have a power though, so that sucks. He just shoots arrows really straight. You’re stuck in a video game! Who are you? I’ll be a mage from the College of Winterhold in Skyrim.
