Web Features Editor Ayaan Olasewere ’25 knows how to commit to a passion, whether it be journalism or sports. “I swim competitively” Olasewere said, doing “mostly sprint events like 50 free or 100 free,” and she first learned to swim at only 18 months old.Perhaps journalism might be a passion she commits to as well, as she wishes to bring to light “a lot of the interesting things and events and issues happening in our community,” she said. She also feels that many are “not as known or not as public, so I wanted to bring that to attention.”
For Paper Features Editor Lily Hultgren ’25, joining Inklings was an opportunity to improve her interpersonal skills and do something she loves in the meantime. ““I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and interview people I don’t know, which is something I get nervous about,” Hultgren said. As a junior, a veteran now, in Inklings, she thinks that the organization has helped her push beyond these fears. She has definitely seen her own improvement. “Having to constantly talk to new people for articles and for broadcasts has really helped me learn more about myself and other people.”
