Molly Ratinoff

If you are walking to the front circle ready to pick up your Door Dash order that just arrived, you will likely spot Molly sitting on the museum chairs relaxing. She might be reading a book, laughing with friends, or just sitting and enjoying the sounds of students walking by and birds chirping. Sometimes, you might see her whip out a huge camera and take pictures of her surroundings. Known for her photography account on Instagram, @molly_ratinoff.photography, which consists of several plants. Molly loves photography because she can express things that can only be found expressed in the natural world. Molly is not only creative though; her friends describe her as empathetic, selfless, and lovable. Displaying many of these traits in the South Hutch dorm, Molly is known for giving some of the best advice to underclassmen. Boy issues? Friendship drama? Crying because you have no idea what is going on in IPC? Simply approach those museum chairs, and Molly will be sitting there ready to welcome you with open arms. Even when she has so many responsibilities, like being a prefect at South Hutch and managing not one but two water sports, she knows how to make time for individual people. Although she’s always there for others, Molly has her own goals as well. Leaving behind the museum chairs that carry so many fond memories and friendships, Molly is ready to begin her journey at the University of Oregon. Molly hopes to make new friends, memories, and make the best of her freshman year at college.
