Senior Mishti Ramachandra, currently a Features Editor, is diving into her last year with The Californian. This year, she’s excited to finally help plan out the memorable senior issue at the end of the year and come up with all the interesting and creative layouts for the Features section. She initially joined The Californian in her sophomore year (which was forever ago) because she wanted to gain valuable writing and a creative outlet to express ideas going around the school. She loves writing, hanging out with her friends at downtown restaurants, traveling to new countries, and indulging in new novels, all the while drinking and brewing a cup of warm coffee. She basically loves anything induced with caffeine (except for matcha, which tastes like grass in her opinion). Amid her busy schedule, she’s always on the lookout for a precious second of sleep—whenever she can find it.
