The Owl

Lucy Paradise

Lucy Paradise, Editorials editor

Lucy Paradise is a junior at Boulder High and is excited to be a part of the Owl for a second year. This year, she is the editor of the editorials section and is excited to yap about her opinions, curiosities, and why high schoolers do not get nap time as preschoolers do. What are they tired of? Coloring? In her spare time, Lucy serenades her dogs with her cello or piano. Currently, her favorite piece is the Saint Saens Cello Concerto No. 2 in D Minor Op. 119. In addition, Lucy enjoys pole vaulting, model UN, chess, and studying Mandarin. After high school, Lucy wants to become a concert cellist, compose film scores, and advocate for animal welfare. For now, Lucy likes to come home and snack on a nice cluster of crispy, crunchy green grapes because they clearly are superior to its pathetic adversary, the purple grape.
