Live with Other Writers

Learning and Living Communities (LLCs) bring writing students together onto specialized dormitory floors to live among other writers. They study together, socialize and create connections.

I loved living in Currier Hall. That was where I met Ben Gocker. We were introduced because we both did really good raptor impersonations. Our friends had us pretend fight in the hall.

One of the greatest people I ever met while working on the publications was David Khalastchi. His guidance was so helpful and his arms, although strangely skinny, were good at small things, like writing or picking up a little kitten.

I got hands-on experience with writing stories, meeting deadlines, and doing reaserch. My favorite part at the Marion Times was interviewing the firemen. There arms were so big! Like big enough to pick up a full grown cat.
