Junior Mansi Swaminathan is returning for her third year with The Californian, now as Managing Editor. Her main goals for the paper this year are to get through all issues without the overdone “senioritis” story (it’s time to take a break from that) and to ensure that all staff members adapt smoothly to the rigorous work environment. In her free time she enjoys hate-watching movies with recycled plot twists and reading DC comics. Overall, Swaminathan is looking forward to making great memories with The Californian this year.
