Hey everyone, my name is Jenn and I’m a junior majoring in Speech and Hearing Science. I haven’t taken an English class since my freshman year, so I’m really excited to jump back into analyzing and discussing texts, especially since I recently found an author that I love, and I found the time to enjoy reading in my free time again
Hey I’m Lilly!
Hi guys my name is Lilly! I’m a freshman from Long Island and I’m an Adolescent English Education major. I love movies more than tv shows. Some of my favorite are Unbroken, About Time, The Theory of Everything and a bunch more. First semester was a big adjustment but I love Cortland now and everything it has to offer and hope to be more involved in clubs such as the dance team or rushing!
Hi, I’m Alejandro!
Hi guys, my name is Alejandro, I’m a junior and I am studying a major in English (with the focus on literature) and this is my first semester in Cortland. I arrived a week ago because I’m an international student from Spain! (I live in Santander, up in the north of Spain) I’m looking forward to meeting you all!!
As for my hobbies, I really like swimming, listening to music (my faves are Lana del Rey, Bastille, Ariana…) and my favorite books are Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale .
Also, I also sing and take photos sometimes, guess that’s all! See you in class!
Hi I’m Paige
Hey guys my name is Paige and I’m not really sure what to write about. I work a lot.. I’m actually typing this on my break so I need to be fast!!
The basics are: I commute from Vestal to Cortland everyday (majoring in Speech Pathology), I work almost everyday (pretty much full time), and I have a year old boxer puppy who eats everything (anyone want a free dog?!?!). Once upon a time I used to write poetry and then realized I would never make money so I stopped.
I guess that’s all so see you guys tomorrow!

Hi, my name is Alex
Hey, my name is Alex. I am an adolescent English education major. I really enjoy reading, camping, and video games. This winter break I finished a couple of books: Tuesdays with Morrie and Their Eyes were Watching God. I am currently reading Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather. I am really looking forward to Intro to Multicultural Literature because I am looking to diversify and be more inclusive with the reading selections in my future classroom.

Lastly, I cannot wait to spend the semester with you all!
