This is my blurb

I’m a second year student in the Faculty of Arts, intending to become an English major with a combined specialization in the fields of language and literature. I like to consider myself a singer, and am involved in the UBC A Cappella club on campus. Some of my favorite things to do include eating, napping, eating, and looking at dogs on the internet (corgi puppies mainly, but not exclusively). While I may choose to keep this blog and develop it into greatness, the original purpose of this is to respond to readings throughout my chosen course, Latin Studies 201. I chose to take this because of the subject of popular culture, which has always been an intriguing concept to me; I thoroughly enjoy analyzing the various social roles within a society as well as analyzing the impact that people – both as individuals and as a collective – have on their respective cultures.

I’m not sure what else I should write about myself, so I’ll just end this blurb here.

Truly yours,

Bianca Low
