[00:00:06.410]I've recently interned for The Prairie Schooner
[00:00:09.701]which is a literary magazine
[00:00:11.331]that is housed in the English Department.
[00:00:13.796]It's one of the oldest and also it's a
[00:00:15.517]fairly prestigious literary magazine.
[00:00:18.053]It has published Joyce Carol Oates
[00:00:20.783]and Euroda Welty
[00:00:22.798]and all these really famous authors.
[00:00:26.114]Getting to work there has been great for me as
[00:00:29.071]a creative writer just to see that process.
[00:00:31.498][ Music ]
[00:00:33.465]I applied for the position of head opinion editor
[00:00:36.341]and I got that so what I'll be doing
[00:00:38.747]is running the opinion section
[00:00:41.153]which will be exciting and a little terrifying.
[00:00:44.632][ Music ]
[00:00:47.961]I studied abroad in China.
[00:00:50.696]I was in Xi'an, China and Beijing.
[00:00:53.281]I think it helped me understand
[00:00:54.702]a little bit more
[00:00:55.903]of what it is to be American
[00:00:58.125]and when I came back
[00:00:59.891]it really made me aware, too,
[00:01:02.078]of my place in the world.
[00:01:05.160][ Music ]
[00:01:07.072]I feel like the studying environment
[00:01:08.350]has given me enough space
[00:01:10.093]to think, to make mistakes, and to explore.
[00:01:12.610]My professors have been really, really great at
[00:01:15.384]trying to drive us in that direction,
[00:01:18.403]self-reflective and becoming more self aware.
[00:01:20.865]People actually care about other people,
[00:01:23.067]one of the reasons I'm glad I came here.
[00:01:25.265][ Music ]
