Entering her final year at LGHS and El Gato, Claudia Casal Montserrat is back and ready for more. Equipped with her exhaustive list called “Bay Area Bites,” her famed homemade coconut matcha, and a newfound obsession with film photography, Casal Montserrat has just enough sources of joy to make it to second semester without too much senioritis. She is gearing up to reign as Games Editor with an iron fist, master parallel parking, and crush plenty of crosswords. Casal Montserrat is looking forward to making it through college application season and making her last year the best— or at least better than junior year.
