Hey guys! My name is Amber and I’m a senior at OU graduating in May! I took the Mythology and Folklore class a few semesters ago and I really loved it so I decided to take this class this semester. I’m taking a lot of classes this semester so that I’ll be able to graduate on time: capstone practicum class, ecology and environment, industrial psychology, physiological psychology, and this class - sixteen hours total. I’m also volunteering for the first time at a place in Oklahoma City called Calm Waters, which is a place where families with children can go to get grief support and divorce support groups. I’m going to be a grief support group facilitator for small children which is going to be awesome, I’m so excited!

I have a roommate named Bria who took this course last semester and is in the Myth and Folklore class this semester and a dog named Lily (who was in the picture in my favorite places post). Let’s see, what else is interesting about me: I had to start school on my birthday (yesterday) this semester, which sucked because that hasn’t happened since I came to college. I also work at my old high school twenty one hours a week as a receptionist so I stay pretty busy.
Right now, when I have time, I’m reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, which is absolutely amazing. I also like to binge watch series on netflix like Friends and Bones, which are both excellent shows.
I’m a Psychology major and I hope to become a counselor someday, after attending grad school of course, which is why I’m volunteering at Calm Waters because I think it will be a great experience for a future counselor. I plan to move to Kansas when I get out of grad school to live with my grandmother and work as a counselor in town but also work on her horse ranch because I absolutely love horses and all other kinds of animals. It’s going to be so great, just like this semester.
