    Hey! My name is Cadence and I'm from Selinsgrove, PA. I'm a secondary education English major and I'm a freshman. I used to wrestle in high school, and I weightlift and play rugby here at Bloomsburg. I'm also a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I really like horror movies, watching wrestling matches, and shopping! I don't read much however it's something I want to start doing. I want to read horror books so if you have any recommendations, please let me know! My favorite book I've read was All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. I also really like The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald.  A website I really enjoy is Pinterest . I use this daily for inspiration in my life. This app is also really good for finding fun recipes, quotes, and any type of planning. A video I like is this audio of Emma Chamberlin about becoming a better person. I believe that we should always strive to be better, kinder, and just good people.  Being a better person    ...

A picture of my sister and I (on the right) from summer!        Hi! My name is Julia Evans. I'm an English Professional Writing major with a minor in Creative Writing . I'm actually from Bloomsburg, PA and this is my freshman year here. I enjoy writing and drawing in my spare time and being outdoors . I like to hike, mountain bike, and ski !      I just recently read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde after putting it off for about two years. I enjoyed it thoroughly and would definitely recommend it. I also just started reading Tar Baby  by Toni Morrison since I absolutely adore her writing.     I've linked  http://pinterest.com as my favorite website. I absolutely love looking at home decor and finding drawing inspiration and Pinterest is where I find almost all of my favorite designs!     I'd recommend learning guitar  or any instrument to anyone interested! I personally really love music and have been...

      My name is Tristan Greiner and I am from Mifflinburg Pennsylvania and currently majoring in Secondary English and Spanish at Bloomsburg University . In my free time I really like to ski, travel, tutor, study foreign languages, and read. One book that I read recently that I really enjoyed was The alchemist by written by Paulo Coelho, it's about a Shepards journey in pursuit to find treasure from his reoccuring dream. I highly recommend giving this book a read as it's a very reflective book that reminds you to trust your path in life.      One website that I often use is Google Earth . One of my biggest passions is traveling and learning about other countries and the massive world we live in. Traditional two dimension maps skew the sizes of countries and areas of the world so that is why I much prefer using google earth, it is also very easy to navigate. This website has helped me learn the locations of so many different cities and landmarks around...

  I am Evie Hostetter (21), a sophomore at Bloomsburg University. I am an English Creative Writing Major as well as a History Major. This is a picture of me in one of my vintage dresses. I love vintage fashion and old movies as well as older music. I dream to write books and write storylines for video games one day. My favorite book would probably have to be "The Screwtape Letters" by C.S. Lewis because I love how it uses humor and is philosophical at the same time. Crunchyroll Website  I chose the Crunchyroll website for my blog because I watch anime a lot and it is the site I use most if I do not have the anime physically and disc form. My favorites have to be Kino's Journey, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Cowboy Bebop. I have been getting into Attack on Titan and One Piece recently and have been enjoying those as well. I just love how creative anime can be with the stories and characters. There are a lot of characters that are unique and written well in anime. For my video,...

     A photo of me playing baseball in high school.     Intro Blog: Gehrig Baker      Hello everybody, my name is Gehrig Baker. I am currently a Junior working toward a degree in Secondary Education for English. In my time off I like to play basketball, as well as watch different sports like football, baseball, basketball, and occasionally hockey.     Usually I prefer to read fantasy novels if I pick up a new book. One book I've read recently that I've really enjoyed has been Sky's End by Marc J. Gregson. I wouldn't want to spoil anything, but it's about a world above the clouds. If you like fantasy novels, this series is a pretty entertaining one.  https://www.denverbroncos.com/      The above link sends you to the official website of the Denver Broncos. I'm a big Broncos fan, so I was pretty upset this week because of the game last Sunday, but this is where I go for roster information and other news. https://www.yo...

  A picture of me from Summer Hello! My name is Jordan Haley (She/Her), and I am 20 years old (21st birthday in April!) . I am a junior at Bloomsburg University, with a major in Sports Nutrition and a minor in Literature. I am from Lehighton, Pa, and if you don't know where that is, it is right next to Jim Thorpe. Some of my favorite hobbies that I like to do is line dance and snowboard. I am actually a snowboard instructor at Blue Mountain Ski Resort. I enjoy watching sports like Hockey, Football, and basketball.  I just finished reading the Rebel Blue Ranch series by Lyla Sage .

My favorite website at the moment is Homes.com , because I want to move to Texas once I graduate from college. This weather that we have been having recently has really sold the deal for me. I have also always dreamed of moving away from PA and exploring other states.  A video that I would recommend...

Me and My Fuzzy Friend, Snudge Schooling & Home      Hi! My name is Emily, and I just transferred to Bloomsburg in the fall. I started my college career at Luzerne County Community College, where I got my Associate's in Professional Writing. Here at Bloom, I decided to continue in that track by doing English with a focus on Professional Writing. I'm also a commuter student and live at home with my sister, two brothers, my parents, and seven cats. Yes, I love cats. Home, for me, is in Dallas. No, not Dallas, Texas. You'd be surprised how many people ask me that. Dallas, PA, is about an hour away from campus, in case you're wondering. Reading and Writing      When I'm not on my hour-long commute or doing homework,  I love to read and write in a variety of genres, though I tend to focus on fantasy when I write. However, when it comes to reading, I go all over the place. During our break, I read a whopping 28 books from all genres, including fantasy, ...

My name is Alexandria Rose, and I am 24-years-old. My majors are American Sign Language Interpreting and English. I recently graduated with my first degree in Publishing for Writers. When I was 17, I self-published my first poetry book. Since I was a little girl, writing has been my passion. A book that I love and would recommend to others is Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan. This novel focuses on bridging the gap in communication.  A website that I love is from Bill Vicars. He has numerous free resources available for anyone interested in learning American Sign Language. This website specifically assists with practicing fingerspelling.  https://asl.ms/ Something I recommend is learning how to play the guitar to introduce yourself! 

      Hello! My name is John Heibeck (I'll probably show up as Jack on Brightspace/Email; either name works). I was born on February 20, 2006. I enjoy reading, writing, and watching old movies. I'm legally tied for a world record (no, I will not clarify what record I'm tied for). Other than that, there's not too much to know about me.     A book I recently read that I would highly recommend is Penpal  by Dathan Auerbach. The book is about the narrator recalling events from his childhood pertaining to his stalker. It's one of the few horror books I've read that really, truly terrifies me. Sorry for the poor image quality. It's the best picture I could find.      Here's a link to an emulator for The Oregon Trail.  It's helped me through many a boring day in the past.      Finally, below is a video by YouTuber hbomberguy about the origins of the anit-vax movement. It's a very interesting watch if you have the time.

  Me in NYC over break! Hi everyone! My name is Audrey Donnell and I'm a junior at Bloomsburg University where I'm studying English - Creative Writing and minoring in Emergent Media. I like to play video games, read and write, go shopping, spend time with friends, listen to music, and consume any and all types of media. I'm an only child, and I did competitive cheerleading at the high school and All Star level in middle and high school. I like pretty much any music, and listen to a wide range of genres like pop, EDM, R&B, etc.  My favorite book of all time is The Lord of The Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, and I highly recommend it. I believe it's one of the best novels of all time, and definitely the best fantasy novel of all time (it's popular for a reason)! One website I love is Canva . It's a free graphic design website that's very helpful for school and outside projects! I use it every time I need to make a presentation for a class, and I also use it to ...

      Hi everyone, my name is Avery Salada and I am a sophomore at Bloomsburg University, and am also an secondary education major with a concentration of English. I am from Lancaster, PA and live with my parents and 2 dogs. When coming to Bloomsburg for the first time I absolutely fell in love with the campus the first time I saw it and knew that I was going to be the school for me.  I play with the club field hockey team which has me traveling to different local schools and playing games, while also not being in something that needs me to commit full time.     The most recent book that I have read and loved was both the Iliad and Odyssey , mainly do to my love for Greek mythology and the gods that come with the stories. Although this read is not for most, I would highly recommend reading and experience Homer's writing and the ability to recall a story passed down for generations. His writing makes you feel as if you are sitting there around the camp...

 A picture of my football roster picture  Hi everyone, my name is Matthew Buchman, and I am a secondary education English major. I am from Hazleton, Pennsylvania, and love to stay active. I am a junior here at Bloomsburg University and am a part of the football team. A recent book that I have re-read is  The Great Gatsby.  really enjoy this book because of the details and pain you can truly feel from the characters. You feel the love and sense of attachment that stays and goes throughout the story. Here is a hyperlink to a website I love called YouTube  https://www.youtube.com/ . The reason I love this website is that I enjoy watching educational videos. You can find ways to learn about anything on YouTube. Some videos are more educational than others; however, all learning is good learning. A video that I love and would recommend is a motivational video from Tom Brady. This video reflects on how you may be overlooked in life, but that does not mean you should q...

From an exhibit in the Museum of Broadway in New York City       Maddy Connors Hi, my name is Maddy Connors (they/she). I'm currently in my second year at Bloomsburg University, where I'm studying Secondary English Education and Integrated Theatre. I'm currently reading  Freakslaw  by Jane Flett and I highly recommend it. I tend to use  Open Library  a lot, especially when it comes to my English classes and I need to find a book while on a budget. I love me a good YouTube documentary, but there's one that I find myself watching, which is  Did Yoko Break Up The Beatles  by Lindsay Ellis (I'm also a huge Beatles fan and this documentary changed my perspective on quite a few things so if you share the same interest, I highly recommend that you give it a watch). I love all things cosmetology (I actually got my license to practice cosmetology in 2023), exploring historical sites/museums, everything that has to do with theatre (in case that wa...

 Hello everyone, My name is Tyler Harper. I am 21 years old and a secondary education major, but also intend to graduate with an ESL certificate. Some hobbies of mine include studying Japanese, playing video games, and physically working out. I have lived in PA for most of my life, but also lived in Colorado, Georgia, and South Korea while serving in the military. A book that I recently read was "Babel" by Kuji Furumiya. It's an entertaining fantasy light-novel that incorporates an interesting approach to linguistics and communication.  I'm a pretty big anime fan, so I decided to link Crunchyroll's website.  I'm always down for new anime, television, and movie recommendations, so please help my watchlist expand even more! Some of my favorite series include Fullmetal Alchemist and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. I'm also reading the manga for Frieren, so it's been a lot of fun seeing scenes I read become animated in the second season.  Something I wo...
