Marissa Drake, Staff Writer
This is Marissa's first year on staff and second year in the journalism program. As a sophomore, Marissa likes to take long walks to the fridge and spends most of her time inside of her house waiting for the apocalypse. In all seriousness, Marissa is varsity cheerleader who tends to spend more time watching Caillou or Paw Patrol than actually going out and making friends. She likes to deal memes (at a discounted price of 20$) and has a fear of the dark. She cant wait to spend the rest of the year reciting vines and making an even bigger embarrassment of herself.

![Cori Robinson, junior who figure skates at a facility in Buffalo Grove called Twin Rinks, performs a synchronized skating routine. "
Oh yeah I’d defiantly [have more time for homework if we have a facility in lake zurich] but there’s no rink close enough to lake Zurich. Maybe Barrington but I don’t think they do figure skating I think that is just hockey," Robinson said.](https://www.lzbearfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/IMG_4961-600x900.jpg)
