Hello everyone! My name is Lake and I am currently a sophomore (Class of 2027) at Princeton intending to concentrate in Philosophy. I'm interested in climate politics, elections, Russian literature, ancient Greek thought, and applications of rights in constitutional law. I am a member of [Butler College](https://butlercollege.princeton.edu/), one of Princeton's seven residential colleges. I grew up in Troy, Michigan, just outside Detroit. Some of my hobbies include making coffee, scrolling politics Twitter, and trying new pasta restaurants. If you want to connect for whatever reason, reach out via email. I look forward to hearing from you
