Mandy is a senior from Shawnee majoring in journalism and minoring in sociology. This is her fifth and (unfortunately) final semester on The Kansan due to the fact that she is graduating in May. Mandy has served several writing and editing positions on The Kansan, but decided to focus this semester on writing columns, her original passion. She hopes to get some sort of a writing, editing or design job when she graduates.
