Julia Flickinger- Introduction Blog

 

My name is Julia Flickinger, I'm from Downingtown PA and I am a sophomore. I am majoring in creative writing and minoring in professional communications. I was a graphic design major in my fall semester of freshman year, but I realized that writing comes more naturally to me than design did. I still love making art since it is something that I've been doing my whole life, but now I see it as a way to relieve my stress and a way to be creative for myself. I also love to write, and I try to write every day. Whether it is a journal entry ranting about my day or a short story, writing is another way I get to connect to myself. I also love watching YouTube video essays because I enjoy being able to converse about many different topics. 

I like a wide variety of movies and TV shows, so it's really hard for me to pick a favorite. I've recently been watching X-Files, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and House. I finished Arcane a little while ago too, which is a great show that I would recommend. 

I said in class that a book I really liked was Rebecca, and while I love that book, another old mystery I enjoyed was The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. Its an older book that I found by chance at a book sale, and some of the language is hard to get past at first, but once you get used to it I promise that it is a haunting and beautiful novel. 

Here is a link to my favorite song by my favorite artist, which is Vancouver by Jeff Buckley. I love his music and I have the album Grace on CD for my car!
