Okay, so here’s the deal. I was just chillin’, ya know, browsing the web, and this name pops up: Libby Emmons. Naturally, I’m like, “Who’s that?” So, I figured, alright, let’s do some digging. My main goal was to figure out her age, plain and simple.
First things first, Google is your friend. I just typed in “libby emmons age” and hit enter. Obvious, right? But you gotta start somewhere. The initial results gave me some articles about her, mostly related to her writing and political commentary. Nothing about her age right off the bat, which was kinda annoying.
So I dug a little deeper. Here’s what I did:
- Checked her Wikipedia page (if she had one). Nope, nothing there. Strike one.
- Looked for interviews. Sometimes interviews mention things like “early career” or “reflecting on her life,” which can give you clues. I scrolled through a few articles, but no dice.
- Searched for her birthday. I tried variations like “libby emmons birthday” and “when was libby emmons born.” Still nothing concrete.
I was getting a little frustrated, ngl. I even started looking at some of her social media profiles. Maybe an old profile pic or a comment referencing a specific year? Nada. Privacy settings are a real buzzkill sometimes.
Then I had a little brainstorm! I remembered seeing a piece she wrote for a publication, and I thought, “Maybe the bio at the end of the article will have something.” So, I went back to Google and searched for “[Publication Name] libby emmons.” I found the article, scrolled to the bottom, and BOOM!
Okay, not exactly BOOM. The bio didn’t state her age directly, BUT it did say something like, “Libby Emmons has been writing about [topic] since [year].” Now we are talking! I subtracted that year from the current year, and while that didn’t give me her exact age, it gave me a MINIMUM age. Like, if she started writing at 18, she had to be at least that old now, right?
It wasn’t perfect, but it was the best I could do. Sometimes, you gotta accept that you’re not gonna get all the answers you want. The internet is vast, but it doesn’t know everything. So, in the end, I got a pretty good estimate. Not bad for a little online sleuthing, if I do say so myself.
The lesson here? Don’t give up easily! Try different search terms, look for clues in unexpected places, and be prepared to settle for an estimate if you can’t find the exact answer.
