Introduction to a Story Lover

Hello! My name is Brooke and I am a Community Health major. I am a senior and will graduate in Fall 2020. I am really excited about this course because I took Laura's Myth and Folklore course last semester and it was easily the best college course I have ever taken. It helped me get back into writing and made me realize that college classes can actually be fun. I learned about so many different stories in it, too!

Some things about me: I really enjoy reading, and recently my favorite series has been Harry Potter. I love it so much that I actually based my storybook last semester on it. I also love The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater and The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins. I am trying to read 104 books this year so if anyone has any recommendations then I would love to hear them!

Some of my favorite shows are The Office, Parks and Recreation, The Good Place, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Gravity Falls. If you can't tell, I really love comedy and cartoons. Both of those kinds of shows have brought me a lot of joy in the past, and I never seemed to outgrow cartoons like some people do. Aside from spending time reading and watching those shows, a lot of my time is spent taking care of my almost 2-year-old toy poodle, Yumi.

I am currently pre-nursing, and I only have one more class to fulfill my prerequisites for nursing school, but I am not sure if that is where I will end up. My ultimate goal in life is to work for a publishing company like Penguin Random House or Bloomsbury, or create an animated/cartoon show. I'd also love to write a book at some point, and/or train service dogs. Whatever ends up happening, though, I just hope I'm helping others.

Good luck to everyone!
