Maria Papalois is a Junior and a first year Staff Reporter at The Chariot. She has always loved writing stories and joined the school newspaper to expand her writing process into the field of journalism. Her favorite way to write is in her sometimes illegible half-cursive handwriting that only English teachers can read. When she isn’t being apathetic at school, she enjoys watching sitcoms like “Seinfeld” and “How I Met Your Mother”, listening to her records she finds at the flea market in Royal Oak, her favorite find was “Ram” by Paul and Linda McCartney, conversing with her dog, a three year old Westie named Plato and playing the Sims 4.
