Nicole Schwartz, Graduated Online Opinion Editor

Nicole Schwartz has an appreciation for jokes with awkward punch lines and will laugh at nearly any Yo Mama joke ever imagined. She enjoys writing, yet not reading poetry, which she spontaneously scratches in her journal for later reflection. She is outspoken and embraces large debates and discussions in which she can both voice and expand her perspective. Nicole’s greatest obsession is with dachshunds because she enjoys the calming presence of their unnaturally long bodies. She is also a cross country runner who has spent much of the last four years, mostly unsuccessfully, trying to develop some form of muscle. Whenever she gets a chance to pull her head out of a calculus or physics book, Nicole wants to write her own blog and hopefully, if all goes well, one day learn how to play the harmonica. Nicole was the online opinion editor for the 2015-16 school year.
