Hello everyone! My name is Audrey Hatch and I am a Secondary Education English major. I am a senior credit wise here at the Bloomsburg campus but I will have to complete one more year of schooling, along with this semester, in order to graduate with my intended degree. As of now, I plan to start working towards my masters degree shortly after graduation to keep my motivation high and passion for teaching and literature alive. I would love to major in teaching english as a second language because I love to travel. I have been to almost every state in the country as well as Mexico, Costa Rica, France, England, Turks and Caicos, Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and Guatemala. Having expertise in this field will open many opportunities for me to be able to teach and travel, two things I am beyond passionate about.

Brittney Broskis visual podcasts are my absolute favorite things to watch when I have some down time. She is so funny, witty, entertaining and authentic. I have followed her for many years and will continue to because of how she uses her platform to both entertain and inform her viewers. She covers all areas of conversation from what books she's reading and her thoughts on it, pop culture references, what her house sigil would be if she lived in Medieval times and then immediately go into talking about something serious, like politics or global issues. She has a couple different channels so her content is always different which makes it that much more entertaining. 

Pinterest is one of my favorite websites to utilize because of the versatility of the content and the fact you can find anything on there. I've come across a ton of different uses for it whether that be formulating decor for my future home, getting fashion inspo, searching for school related topics, to even a simple find like a new lockscreen for my phone. 

I can't in good nature pick just one book that I love. It's like my mother tells me when I ask who she loves more, me or my brother, "I love you both in different ways", when in reality I know the answer is the dogs. But I will say I have a favorite author, Alice Feeney. I watched a book review once and saw how much this reader was pushing her novel, "Sometimes I Lie", and was immediately hooked when she said it was a psychological thriller/ mystery. It roughly follows the narrator who is in a coma and does not know how, when, or why she ended up there. The only ability she is left with is her consciousness, hearing and touch. The story then unfolds in a couple different timelines and the reader is finding out what happened to the protagonist as well as the protagonist unfolds all the details by hearing those around her talk and she is left to put the puzzle pieces together on her own accord. It is such a riveting story with a million plot twists and kept me on the edge of my seat for the day it took me to read because I could just not put it down. This novel is one of the first books I recommended to anyone requesting a new nail biting, enthralling, and unforgettable read. 

PS: I can't not share a picture of my dogs after i mention them so here is that... 

Riggs is the english cream golden retriever that has been in our family for 8 years. He is my best friend and the sweetest boy around. 

Tug, the french bulldog, is the newest member of the family as he just turned 1 at the end of summer. He can be sweet but he is also a little devil dog and is such a nuisance, but nonetheless he is a good boy too.
