Senior Lili Carlomagno likes to read, watch TV and play lacrosse outside of school. Carlomagno also works a part-time job as a hostess at Murphy’s, a restaurant in  Virginia Highland.

“School and my job are pretty easy to manage, since I only have one Midtown class per day,” Carlomagno said. “Murphy’s is a good place to work — I’ve made work friends and have more job experience.”
