Freshman, Ariel Mcdaniel is enjoying her first year on staff! She loves playing her guitar and hanging out with her friends. Ariel likes family time and playing music with her dad. She prefers to listen to the classic country music rather than the newer music that is produced. She does not meet a stranger. Ariel can be friends with anyone she meets. In her spare time, Ariel likes to find a cozy spot and read. At home, she likes to play with her little sister. One thing Ariel looks forward to is going to Destin every year for the week of Independence Day. She is very excited to see what all happens throughout her journalism journey.
