Lucy is a sophomore staff writer that spends most of her time meticulously pondering how to make an article that is most definitely NOT in the junk section the junkiest of them all. You might want to come prepared if you want to have a conversation with her, because she WILL laugh to herself after making chronically online references that no one else will understand.
