In a shrewd display many social networkers are calling comedic genius, University of Wisconsin-Madison freshman Debra Little gave one of her Facebook photo albums the title “Freshmaniacs” Thursday.
The album, chronicling Little’s entire first year at UW-Madison, is loaded with photos ranging from wild mid-party selfies to synchronized jumping pictures on the beaches of Cancun.
“I couldn’t just call it something lame like ‘Class of 2016.’ What would people think?” Little said. “I just thought to myself I needed a title that captured the feeling of the whole year. My friends and I were so crazy, and we were freshmen, so it jusy popped into my mind: fresh... maniacs!”
According to Sammy Hodge, Little’s best friend who makes a recurring appearance in the album, the brilliant play on words that is “Freshmaniacs” was not the first idea.
Hodge said, “We brainstormed for a while on this one. When you’re going to name an album like this, you don’t fool around. Someone tossed ‘Freshmanimals’ out there. I suggested ‘The Freshmanual,’ because we did it up right. But then I saw Debbie’s eyes light up, and I knew she had it.”
This latest accomplishment has cemented Little’s reputation as a creative mastermind in the eyes of Facebook users around the world. No album title has received this much praise since Iowa high schooler Sydney Thompson’s “PROMINATION 2012.”
