This month, Zoila wrote “Pinterest Predicts 2025,” a comprehensive review of the trends that Pinterest has determined will be popular this year, including Pickle Fix, Rococo Revival, and Terra Futura, to name a few. Zoila’s article about the Blood Drive was also featured in our First Semester Print Edition, and she collaborated with Wendy Sun on the hit “Which ExComm Member Are You?” quiz.
