Erika Trisch is a senior on The Central Trend. She's excited but nervous for her final year at FHC and entering her first year on staff. She's met amazing people along the way and created memories that have lasted a lifetime. She loves to talk and socialize, so writing has been a great, creative outlet for her to put her thoughts down on paper. She absolutely adores her best friends and the laughter and fun they have brought into her life. Her favorite activities include shopping, hanging with her friends and family, writing, reading, and of course listening to her holy grail, Taylor Swift. Overall she's excited to document her senior year journey on TCT.

Favorite movie: Eternal Sunshine In A Spotless Mind
