Monia Abbas, Junior Writer

Monia Abbas is a freshman starting as a junior writer for The Central Trend. Along with writing, Monia has a strong passion for reading. You can most commonly find her wandering the hallways with a book or simply reading before class starts. Along with reading, Monia is most often caught doodling on her agenda or homework. And like any other teenager, she spends her hours at home scrolling through TikTok.

Favorite story to write: Short stories are her favorite, but columns are a definite second

Favorite things to do during break: Reading a cute, contemporary book snuggled in a blanket with her favorite snacks: oreos, cookies, and the occasional ginger tea

Favorite series: Throne of Glass series or Renegades

Favorite book genre: Fantasy or Dystopian

Future college: Hopefully Oxford University in England because of the courses they provide and the many pleasant opportunities
