An Extra Ordinary Life: Katelynn Luczkow

Don’t take Katelynn Luczkow, 22, to the beach. Even after a few tequila sunrises, this 5th year senior at Temple will freak out at the vastness and fishy-ness of the ocean, “I hyperventilate every time.”  Even when she went to Costa Rica with a buddy, “it doesn’t matter how much alcohol you give me, I’ll still be freaking out.”

Away from the water, Luczkow is a server at 20 Manning Grill in Rittenhouse Sq. She wears her New Jersey origin like a badge of honor, taking pride in her Hunterdon county beginnings even in Philadelphia where NJ is the butt of a joke.
This goofy fish-and-ocean-phobic young lady is a No Doubt fan and admires Gwen Stefani’s coolness. She maybe even draws that coolness into her personality, but she admits “ I don’t know if I would even necessarily like her if I was in the same room as her… I don’t model my life after her in any way.”
Deep little dimples fill her cheeks when she smiles, but don’t be shocked by her creepy talent: she can make her cheek super hollow. It might look painful but she just laughs at it.
She wants to skydive one day, or maybe even base jump in a squirrel suit. How daring, considering she wont even dip a toe into a body of water with fish in it.
