Freshman isn't really into trucker hats, thinks the Atkins protein diet 'sucks'

Wildcat: Hi, I'm Claire from the Daily Wildcat and you're on the spot.

Hollingsworth: OK, what's that?

Wildcat: Do you read?

Hollingsworth: I haven't read it (the Wildcat) in a long time.

Wildcat: I don't know what to say ... I feel so sad.

Hollingsworth: Oh, I'm sorry.

Wildcat: You should be. So I guess you don't realize what kind of trouble you're in. I'm probably going to make fun of you.

Hollingsworth: I don't think I wanna be on the spot.

Wildcat: I don't mean to be rude - well, actually yes I do - but what's with this whole trucker hat thing? I don't get it.

Hollingsworth: It's not really mine. I'm from Chicago, and I'm not really into that. I just threw it on because it was raining.

Wildcat: Do you just have a mess of hair underneath there?

Hollingsworth: It's messy. I don't really care.

Wildcat: So I guess you're not one of those high-maintenance type of girls.

Hollingsworth: No, not at all.

Wildcat: What's the worst thing about dating?

Hollingsworth: Probably guys that cheat on you.

Wildcat: Are you seeing anyone now?

Hollingsworth: Yeah, I am. He's from Chicago.

Wildcat: Darn, because I was gonna set you up with one of my friends. He's big, hairy and stinky, and I think he may be related to Bigfoot somehow. I don't know why he can't find a date.

Wildcat: What do you think about this whole Atkins diet?

Hollingsworth: I think it's retarded. The diet sucks.

Wildcat: I have a friend who's on it right now, and she basically eats fried hamburger meat wrapped in cheese. It's so gross.

Hollingsworth: I'm not on a diet right now. As long as you go to the gym, you can eat whatever you want.

Wildcat: Do you think all the smoking you're doing helps curb your appetite? Or is it just a replacement for your boyfriend?

Hollingsworth: Ouch ... wow ... harsh.
