Max Kabjian is a senior at Boulder High School and an Editorial Editor for The Owl. In the classroom, he loves history, economics, and writing and is an active participant in a number of clubs such as FBLA, ethics bowl, and debate. When not drowning in hours of homework, Max enjoys going to the gym and then instantly regaining those burnt calories in the kitchen. He also enjoys writing, (largely non-fiction and poetry) as a means of escape from the stresses of the day. This is his first year in Newspaper, though he’s been voicing his opinions, often rather loudly, for years. Max’s topical interests span vastly, from global politics and law, to the arbitrary and silly; there is little that he won’t try to make sense of. His favorite food is an absolute tie between pasta and sushi, but he will accept either as a token of admiration. Max is often described as a very spirited elderly man by his friends, as his afternoons often consist of “old people music” and chess. Though he is Italian, and thus loves red wine (the main ingredient in the beverage being red grapes), there is nothing quite like a firm, green grape.
