Why I'm Not Studying Abroad
Off-campus study programs are a wonderful way to get out of Gambier and gain more worldly and scholarly experience at different institutions. But OCS is not for everyone.

Hey! I'm from Portland, Oregon, and yes, I have seen Portlandia. I'm an English/Psych double major, but I self-identify as a jack of all artistic trades (except drawing; I'm terrible at drawing). So basically anything that isn't, y'know, "art" art is something that I enjoy and have done for a long time. I spend a lot of my free time thinking up potential diversions to use when passing someone on Middle Path who looks like they might wish to engage in small-talk. I write a lot of really scary, dark horror poetry and short stories, I don't go out on weekends, my hair has been an unnatural color since I was 10 years old, and I'm not even a goth punk rocker. What are the odds?
