Skyler Loritz, junior, is excited to be writing for the OLu Muse after many years of delighting in literature. When she’s not spellbound by a book, she’s probably listening to music, wandering through Google Earth, hanging out with her friends, or diving down a Wikipedia rabbit hole. She looks forward to her first year of being in the Humanities Pathway.
