Malia Rodriguez is a freshman at Robinson and a staff writer for Knight Writers. This is her first year on staff.
Rodriguez is interested in modern fashion and the fine arts. She hopes to write stories on both subjects in the coming year.
"I Love fashion because it is a creative and unique way of expressing yourself," Rodriguez said.
Her favorite subject in school is English, due to her love for reading and writing, which is one of the reasons she decided to join the staff. She is an avid classic literature fan, especially in the horror genre. One of her favorites is "Dracula" by Bram Stoker.
Despite being a freshman, Rodriguez is already involved in the school spirit club, Knightmare. She also wants to get involved in the Marine Biology Club because she has a passion for ocean conservation and marine life. The Journalism Honor Society is on her radar as well, as she hopes to thrive in the newspaper environment.
Some of Rodriguez's hobbies include playing video games such as Sims 4, Minecraft, Raft and Mortal Combat. However, her favorite would have to be Sims 4.
"I like building houses because I have a passion for interior design and I don't get a chance to do it in real life," Rodriguez said.
Not to mention, Rodriguez lives with her headphones in. You can catch her typically listening to '80s and '90s rock. One of her favorite groups is Radio Head. Her favorite song by them is "You" or "Exit Music (For A Film)."
"My mom went to one of their shows while she was pregnant with me, so I guess I've been a fan forever," Rodriguez said. "I like [both these songs] because they have a very deep personal meaning to me and how I see the world."
