Katya Surendran is a senior, third-year staff member and News Editor for the Statesman. She tries to do it all even though it always ends badly. When Surendran is not stressing herself out with all of her little activities, she is either bullying her friends into watching “Fight Club,” rereading a Sherlock Holmes story, doodling on her homework or doing the thing that she loves to do most: Sleeping.
