Hello, My Name Is....

Lorin Williams

Hello everyone out there. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lorin Williams and I am in my final semester here at IU. Since you will be reading these posts on a regular basis, I might as well tell you a little about myself. I hail from Richmond, IN where I graduated in 2006 from Richmond High School. I have since called Wright Quad my home for the past four years. I am a journalism major with interests in magazine writing. I hope to one day become a music journalist.

My path to IU was a pretty simple one. IU had been a family tradition. My parents and relatives all attended IU, it had always been a presence in my life. I always wanted to have experience living on a big campus. Having to meet different people and find my own niche within IU has prepared me in being independent. In addition to being on a large campus, IU's journalism program had always been celebrated as being one of the best. It also helped financially to stay in-state, but it was worth it. These past seven semesters have been some of the best in my life, and I will cherish them forever.

Apart from being a student, I am a member of many organizations. I lend my voice to IU"s gospel choir and dedicate time to the Black Student Union. I also have had the unique experience to help increase diversity on IU's campus by working with a group in the admissions office. I served two years on the yearbook staff and am anticipating a class trip to the South by Southwest Festival this year.

With all introductions out the way, I plan to record what life is like here at IU. Talk to you soon.
