Hi! My name is Kaylen Nguyen. I enjoy writing as a hobby (which makes me really happy that it’s a big part of this class) and have been doing it for about eight years now. I hope to publish a book of short stories or poetry one day! I like writing for others and doing requests for fandoms (I do get really strange ones, though), as well as developing my own character (she's like my child. I love her). It’s actually a bit strange writing my own stories for class and a bit difficult because my writing style involves all lower case. I also like drawing, but that’s a different story. I’m definitely not good at it since I haven’t consistently practiced, but I’m trying to stay patient and get better (here’s hoping).
My major is Pre-Nursing and I hope to attend OUHSC next fall. I hope to become a nurse practitioner in a few years. This actually isn’t my first mythology course; the first class I ever had in college was Classical Mythology. I really wasn’t too interested in it at first and kind of just chose it in all honesty. I ended up loving the course. It was a lot of reading, but it was interesting (in really weird ways), so I really enjoyed it! I think my biggest accomplishment last semester was just surviving anatomy. Roughest class I have ever taken.
I usually just watch comedy shows, like The Office, Parks and Rec, or Bob’s Burgers. As for my music taste, I can’t really say I prefer a genre because it’s kind of all over the place. I do like indie music a lot, though! I get a lot of inspiration for writing from lyrics, especially from the group Daughter. I also like Tinashe-- she actually performed here a few months ago, but I wasn’t able to go. The feeling of having one of your favorite singers perform ten minutes away from you is more painful than it should be. I love listening to soundtracks from games, too. I have quite a bit on my phone that I constantly listen to. I also really love playing video games!
Last but not least: I have a dog named Bailey who is basically like a lazy grandma.
