Eva LaBeau is a junior entering her first year on The Central Trend. She takes on everything she does with great passion, specifically when relating to her hobbies and academics. With an affinity for all art forms, she does whatever she can get her hands on, and writing has always come easy to her. Whenever she can, she writes or draws whatever is on her mind. Eva listens to music every chance she gets, and she maintains that her 90-hour go-to playlist is the most convoluted she's seen. Aside from art, Eva spends as much time as she can with her family and friends, and she never hesitates to let them know just how much she appreciates them. Being a part of the community housed in Room 139 will forever be an unmatched feeling to her, and she'll forever love the beautiful people she's met along her journey thus far.
Favorite word: Aeipathy - an enduring and consuming passion
Starbucks order: Venti iced vanilla latte with vanilla sweet cream cold foam and caramel drizzle.
Favorite binge show: ER, New Girl, or Bones--she couldn't choose.
(Very) irrational fears: Velvet clothes, people taller than 6'7", and bad drivers in the school parking lot.

I always thought the cute, small gender reveals were precious. A banner or a game or a cake revealing the sex of an unborn baby to the parents-to-be and their loved ones is a special moment all around.
