Leighton Kelems is a sophomore and a first-year staff writer for Tiger Times Online. When she’s not glued to a computer, she spends her time with her boyfriend, rewatching “A Walk to Remember” as many times as possible before it leaves Netflix. She blasts her Spotify playlists every hour of the day, constantly rewinding Coldplay, 5 Seconds of Summer, Clinton Kane and Gracie Abrams. Kelems is an avid mood reader, distancing herself from every responsibility and stressor in her life. She finds herself in her element when around her friends in OA. In her lodge, she serves as Second-Vice Chief alongside her best friend and Lodge Chief, Emma, proving once again that everything needs a woman’s touch. Kelems explores the outdoors with family, often traveling to northern Arkansas and west Texas and spending every break from school covered in sweat and dirt. Apart from newspaper, she is a member of FCCLA, where she serves as the secretary, Key Club and ASL Club. Kelems is fueled by academic validation and providing the best foundation for her career. A career that is… still unknown. Her goal this year is to go insane to achieve 90s in the grade book and figure out life’s true purpose. Until then, she’s stuck back at her computer waiting for a break in the cycle.
