Brianna Watson: Creatively Writing Her Way to the Top

Basics

Fun Fact about Brianna: She likes to cook

Fun Fact From Brianna: Female mosquitos need your blood to feed their eggs.

 

Q & A

Her Campus: What made you choose to be an English major and why did you choose the creative writing concentration?

Brianna Watson: I chose to be an English major because reading has always been one of my favorite ways to spend my time. I chose the creative writing concentrations because ever since I was little I’ve always been fascinated by coming up with stories. When I would play pretend, I would always have to come up with an elaborate backstory for my character.

HC: Did you know what you wanted to major in before you transferred to GC?

BW: Yes, I was an English major in the associates program at my old school.

HC: What made you choose GC?

BW: The GC creative writing department had been recommended to me by several of my professors. One of them also got a creative writing degree from here.

HC: What is your favorite thing about the creative writing department here?

BW: I like the workshop environment and the way the professors conduct the classes.

HC: If you were stranded on a desert island and could only have three objects what would they be?

BW: A water purifier, a bow and arrow, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

HC: If you were to ever encounter an extraterrestrial (assuming they were real) what would you want to ask them?

BW: I would ask what their civilization was like and then I would ask them not to kill me.

HC: Favorite book?

(I had to dodge several projectiles after I asked her this)

BW:  I couldn’t choose a favorite book. All of the books are my favorite book; even the ones I haven’t read yet.
