So Tell Me About Yourself...


Well, I usually feel pretty awkward talking about myself. I'm not sure what it stems from, but for the sake of the class here I go.....

For the past four or five years, I've become, what I like to call, a professional traveling student. What does that mean you ask? Basically, I've been to five schools in the last five year and finally Towson has become my home. This has been the longest I've attended one school since I've been in college, so I guess Towson was a well needed stop on my personal college tour. I know some of you maybe wondering why in the world would you transfer every year of your college career. Well the answer is simple, Hurricane Katrina. I'm originally from Michigan but I attended Dillard University in New Orleans up until the storm. Honestly, if Katrina never came I would've graduated from Dillard because I absolutely loved it! Sigh...

That's probably the biggest thing about me, because it's the most current. Which makes it newsworthy! But a few other random facts about me; I'm the youngest of two, I have an older brother. I heart food and music, not equally though. A day or two without food I could handle but more than a couple of hours without music I'm going insane! I'm ten times better expressing myself with a pen and paper than verbally. Lastly, my biggest goal--besides graduating in the very near future--is to live my life as a working journalist doing what I love most which is writing!

So... maybe this wasn't so awkward after all because this is clearly over 100 words. At least it seems that way lol.

See ya guys Friday

  3. Awesome story Melany! I'm really sorry to hear about what happened regarding Dillard. Hopefully Towson can come close to being what you had in New Orleans.
