Meghan Malec, Section Editor

Meghan Malec is a senior who can be found hanging out with her friends and binge-watching Netflix shows in her free time. Her free time, however, is very limited since she dances six days a week at Salt Creek Ballet. She tries to make her six-hour dance rehearsals more bearable by getting Sergey, her dance instructor, to tell some crazy stories about his life in Russia. Apparently, Russian dancers dream of becoming clowns. Aside from dance, Meghan loves dropping big bucks to rock the latest fashion trends in school. On weekends, however, you can catch her rocking sweatpants, sweatshirts, and crazy socks. If you were wondering, her favorite pair of crazy socks have sloths...cooking s'mores on them. You can reach her at [email protected].
