My name is Emelie, and I’m a sophomore at Manhattan College. I love English, sociology, and philosophy. I’ve always had a passion for reading, writing, and art. I try to incorporate these interests into my free time by sharing poetry with my friends, exploring new subjects, and writing about new topics as I learn. One of my favorite things to do is make my friends a cup of tea and discuss our opinions on anything.
I’m originally from Pennsylvania, where most of my family still lives. I have three of the sweetest pets at home including my golden retriever, Phoebe, and my two cats, Lola and Daisy. They are the best companions for when I drink my cup of tea and spend my day reading in bed.I often enjoy reading bell hooks, Roxane Gay, or Marxist feminist theory. I love nature walks, especially with Phoebe, and I try to learn about all life and creatures as we walk through different trails. I admire kindness, and I aspire to share that through my writing.
I collect teapots, mugs, and stickers. When I’m home for the summer and other school breaks, I work with children at a daycare. I love engaging with them and learning how they perceive the world with such a loving and innocent technique. I believe that through these warm-hearted interactions, people can truly learn to connect with one another. Lots of my free time goes toward writing about these ideas, as I consider writing to be one of the most powerful sources of communication. I hope to connect with more people through writing for Her Campus at Manhattan!
