Julia Wolfe is the 2020-2021 opinions section editor. She is often seen outside school hallways with her earbuds in and middle finger up, because she’s consumed by her individuality complex and teen angst. She often sits and writes in her journal, listening to music like Frank Ocean or Willow, to really accentuate how much she likes women. She plans to go and live on the west coast as soon as she graduates, because she can’t handle all the Florida men she keeps witnessing on the news. In ten years, you’ll probably see her on the news for earning the Guiness World record of owning the most Corgi’s in the entire world.
