A Brief Introduction

Hi! Welcome to the EN502 blog!

I was an Earth and Environmental Science major as an undergrad at BU, but I registered for an English class in the fall semester of my senior year to complete a graduation requirement. To my surprise, Reading and Writing Literary Nonfiction became my favorite class I took all year. My classmates and I got to know each other through writing about our lives, thoughts, and emotions. We got along so well, in fact, that we had a reunion a few weeks before all of us graduated and went into the real world. During our reunion, I jokingly asked my classmates, "How fun would it be if we had a blog to stay in touch after graduation?"

One week after graduating from college and here I am, our blog up and running. I am thousands of miles away from Boston and hundreds of miles away from anyone I know, bursting to share what I've learned in just these few days out in the unknown.

Here are our guidelines:

1. We each will submit one post in the first seven days of each month.

2. The number of submissions is unlimited

3. Full creative freedom on formatting, style, and length

Every time I experience a transition to a new or unfamiliar environment, it always occurs to me that nothing is as comforting as the feeling of being known. I am excited to share my experiences and look forward to reading about what everyone will accomplish all summer and beyond.

With peace, teeth, and love,

Hanna
