“The Comedian” <twitter.com/wokkawokkawokka>
Daniel Wacha, or @WokkaWokkaWokka, is a second-year chemistry/pre-med student from Caldwell, N.J., and his tweets reflect the same style of the comedians, movies and TV writers that he follows—quick, random and funny. He views Twitter as an effective, informative tool to get both breaking news and hilarious Internet stories.
“I’m pretty convinced that Twitter is the only way I’ll ever be successful or famous,” Daniel says.
Take a look at a few of the funnyman’s tweets:
“Went to find a quick fact on The Gettysburg Address on Wikipedia. Now I know Billy Ray Cyrus’s complete discography. S--t #WikipediaBlackout”
“I’m like the #dubstep of dating chicks; Comes off fun with a lot of promise, but eventually ends up sounding dumb and boring. #wobblewobble”
“I like to believe that there is a utopia somewhere in which the Taco Bells have an item called the ‘bluntwrap supreme.’ #TargetDemographic”
“The Business Man” <twitter.com/SteveCasella>
@StephenCasella, a second-year marketing and finance student and Pawley’s Island, S.C., native has been investing since the age of nine and brings his insight online. A majority of his profile activity includes articles and personal opinions about the national and global economy.
“Only allowing 140 characters per tweet forces the user to make sure he voices his most important ideas,” Stephen says.
Check out some of his stock tips:
“Market up, dollar up... #Gold up? Something to take a look at. $GLD”
“FLASH: Netflix stock reaches double-digits after hours down 15%, misses earnings, loses 800K subscribers in Q3. $NFLX was at $300 in July.”
“Reports: Greece will not receive any more aid until referendum. Also, that a failed referendum vote will result in Greek bankruptcy...”
“The Freshman” <twitter.com/michaeldanko>
Michael Danko, a first-year student from Indian Land, S.C., uses his Twitter as a way to share personal thoughts, locations and moments of his day. Although they may seem like normal tasks to Michael, readers get a glimpse of his realizations about college life as a freshman. Michael’s tweets are witty and entertaining as he navigates his way around campus and college life.
“How many people can fit into an elevator? My record for the Thomas Cooper Library is 17. Anyone want to beat it?”
“Professor Joke: ‘Chapter 11 is how cells communicate. Anyone know? Through Cell phones!!’”
