Nikolas Liepins, Political Correspondent/Contributor
Nikolas Liepins is the Political Correspondent and a writer/(photo)journalist for The Rubicon, RubicOnline, and Ibid Yearbook. This is his second year with St. Paul Academy and Summit School’s publications. Over the past few months at home, Liepins has been spending a lot of time in the kitchen (whether it be making new things like pasta or Julia Child’s french bread or some classics like french macarons) and behind the lens. While he’s keeping up with his self-assigned daily photo challenge (take at least one photo of which he’s proud each day), he finds time to get outside and go wherever the latest news leads him.
One of his favorites in his list of quotes to live by is: “I’m past patiently waiting, I’m passionately smashing every expectation, every action’s an act of creation” from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton.

We're noticing that on a snow emergency day, they parked on the wrong side of the road, and we're sending emails and letting people know," Glewwe said.](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/DSC_7837-1200x800.jpg)
