I know it may seem like there is no art community at Emory, but trust me, there are a lot of people working to keep the arts alive here - you just have to find them.
In my experience, getting involved with the arts helps you find like-minded individuals and feeds your soul, which is important when students are at risk of burn out.
For me, the music is all about telling stories, so it usually starts with some kind of experience or a thought or emotion that’s on my mind which sparks the inspiration for a song.
Making space for creativity in my life allows me to destress, maintain balance, and ultimately, I believe, has made me a better student and more lively person.
I thought that the landscape and nature around me was worth capturing and keeping as a visual memory. I currently continue to take photos when I visit new places...
My poems are fairly autobiographical and I only hope that they read my verses and see me for who I am and my story for what it is, and give it the love and support all writers in this age need.
