If you want to meet a daredevil, Merryn has flown a plane, is attempting to be a vegan, and has started running cross country senior year.  Merryn is starting her third year on the Lodge, and she is most excited to write features and news articles. If you get to know Merryn, you will see that she is a very laid back person. You can usually catch her at home watching Netflix or hanging out with friends during her free time. However, because she likes to travel all around the world, and she has been to over 30 different countries! (PSA: Merryn is very clumsy, so keep her path clear!)
