Intro Blog #1

What’s up guys, I’m Tori. I am from the classic, “right outside of Philadelphia area.” Close to Villanova University if that is any kind of better indication. I’m a COMM major, specifically journalism, AKA the major for “non science and math people.” It’s not that I dislike either field, I’ve always just been more geared towards writing throughout my years in high school.

I don’t enjoy memorizing formulas or parts of the human body, calculating velocities and momentums or slaving over tedious labs so that is probably why I am not majoring in anything science-related. However, with that being said, I do enjoy the environmental side of science and modern-day global issues. Not only does this class appropriately fit into my schedule and fulfill one of my Gen. Eds. (surprise, surprise) but it also involves the everyday issues in our world regarding the environment and society which I so desperately need to learn more about. I really look forward to Andrew shedding light upon the common misconceptions of our world and the many anomalies that it encompasses.

And let’s be real, Andrew’s accent keeps me attentive for the entirety of class. Too entertaining.
