The Roar

Lyn Cheely, Staff Writer

My name is Lyn, and I am currently a Pre-IB sophomore at LHS. My hobbies include watching anime (K Project, Death Note, Mushi-Shi, etc), listening to music (Blue October, Slipknot, 30STM, Melanie Martinez, t.A.T.u, etc) and playing video games, including those in the Legend of Zelda and Fire Emblem series.
An interesting fact about me is my weirdest of hobbies, cosplaying with colorful wigs.  My favorite foods are takis, sushi, lindor truffles, udon noodles and pepperoni pizza.  I currently cover JV girls’ soccer, the odds and ends of opinion writing, Mu Alpha Theta, and the I.B. program.
