The Owl

Annika Bjorklund

Annika Bjorklund, Editor-in-chief

Annika is a senior at Boulder High this year. Though this is her first year with The Owl, she has long enjoyed writing and previously worked with other school publications. In her spare time, you can find Annika at the ice rink skating or hiking around Boulder. You may also find Annika watching Criminal Minds on Netflix, or cooking mac and cheese. If she had to choose a type of grape to go along with her mac and cheese, she would choose green grapes, although as a child she would have chosen purple grapes. After high school, Annika is planning on heading to college (no, she doesn’t know what she wants to study yet). Annika can’t wait to begin writing articles and is excited for the coming year with The Owl!
