Austin Rodriguez, Staff Reporter
Austin Rodriguez is a senior at Normal Community High who is mainly involved in his academics. This is his first year as an Inkspot staff reporter.
On the weekend I usually stay home play video games with my school friends. Every other weekend my family and I head to Indiana to see my grandparents.
An all time dream of mine To backpack around the world documenting my journey. Not travel on airlines and sleep in luxury hotels, but live in a van and travel on foot.
My favorite film Hands down, Kung Fury. Its an over the top 80s laser cop movie created through Kickstarter.
