Student Seems Approachable-

Melanie Norton (‘19), a first-year at Clark University, seems approachable. At this chaotic time, it can be difficult for incoming students to find someone with whom to share hopes and dreams, fears and wonders, fake IDs and body fluids. It is students such as Norton who make the initial interactions possible.

“Seeing her talking to other freshmen made me think that maybe I could talk to her as well,” said James Cooper (‘19). “She laughs when other people try to make jokes and asks people questions about their personal lives that aren’t too personal. I looked her up on Facebook and her profile picture made me feel even more like I could be her friend, or maybe even something more.”

Upon further investigation, The Freudian Slip is able to confirm that Norton’s social media presence has immense influence on her approachable optics. Norton’s new profile picture shows her jokingly posing next to the famous Freud statue in Red Square, pretending to be reading along with Freud.

Ben Craters, in-house psychologist at The Freudian Slip, explained, “Norton’s profile picture makes her seem approachable because it conveys a mild yet not brilliant sense of humor, while preserving her attractiveness. This way, her peers, and specifically her heterosexual male peers, do not feel overly threatened by her presence.”

When asked about her approachability, Norton softly giggled and said, “Oh! Don’t be silly. I just love people!”

The Freudian Slip fell in love and giggled too.
