What's up everyone. I hope you're doing good. My name is Kamelia and I am one of the creators of Lit-erary views. I am a freshman in college and I'v made it to my second semester. Currently, my major is Public Health but it might change. With so many options it gets kind of hard to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life.
I enjoy reading a lot. I remember how I used to roam around in the public library of my town for hours just looking for books to read. I also love writing poetry every now and then. There isn't a certain genre that I stick to, I'm open to read anything that is interesting. Other than reading and writing, I love drawing and painting. I'v taken drawing and painting classes in high school and I wasn't just in them for an easy A, I loved to create.
Here's an unpopular opinion: I enjoy writing essays (as long as they're not ten pages long)
I like how I'm given a certain topic to write my opinions on while showcasing my ability to communicate in writing. Hopefully this blog will also become something enjoyable.

My introduction- 2016
Hello Guys. This is my first time writing a blog and introducing myself threw it. To start this off, my name is Fausto and I am studying accounting so one day I can become a CPA. I was born in New York City and raised in New Jersey in a small town call Red Bank. My parents migrated to the United States back in 90s from Mexico. They have given everything for me so I can succeed and live the American Dream. Two things I enjoy doing a lot is playing my favorite sport soccer and going to school.
In my High School experience, I enjoyed all types of literature, from poems, shorts stories, all the ways to Shakespeare plays. Literature was a key component in order to strive success in high school. Being able to understand novels, brings great knowledge and understanding. I learned this from a close friend that has a strong passion for reading. She is extremely intelligent and it's noticeable to tell that she has a deep understanding of many facts. Two of my favorite books that I enjoyed reading in the past were The Handmaid's Tales by Margaret Atwood and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. The Handmaid's Tales tell a story of a woman that has been given a new position in society and has no zero rights. Into the wild tells a story of a young boy who goes on a journey to Alaska to tries to survive there. I have always found literature very interesting and can seek many connections to the world we are currently living in. Literature has given me a better understanding of what's the author's message. I have come into conclusion that literature is important to everyone because it gives people knowledge and understanding. In English 1500, I will make great connections from the novels to the real world.
Peace,
Guys

My Online Icebreaker
I've never been too good at introducing myself, so I'll just get right to the point.
Hey, I'm Emily. I'm not the best writer when it comes to blog posts, writing about literature, or writing a formal paper, but if you ask me to come up with a line for a song, I can do that pretty easily. I currently play guitar for an artist on campus named Gina Royale (come check us out at The Shrine in NYC on March 2nd from 8-9 PM. it's all ages. bring your friends). I'm a Popular Music major and a Music Management minor, so if you haven't noticed from all of the music references, I really like music. Since music is my thing, a lot of my creativity stems from it. A lot of times I take a more creative look on things and sometimes I'll even take sentences from my papers and incorporate them into my song lyrics.
I'm from South Brunswick, NJ, which is a medium sized town in central NJ. I never really talked to anyone in my school besides people I was really close with. Not everyone was really friendly, but because I didn't really talk to anyone, I got to observe a lot. Reading literature to me is like observing a whole new world. I notice little things that change throughout books and remember small details that people don't see as important until they come up again at a later time.
I used to read a lot (when I say a lot I mean like every night for about 4 years). I was one of those Harry Potter kids, but I only made it to the third book. As the books got thicker, I got less interested and as I was assigned more books to read in school, I got really turned off from reading. This semester I have about six books I need to read and I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to get through it, but if there's a will, there's a way.

Introduction
Hello. My name is Brittany and I am one of the five writers for Lit-erary Views.
I am currently an 18 year old freshman who is studying to one day become a clinical psychologist. I would tell you where I'm from but I can almost guarantee that you have never even heard of it.
Over the course of my high school career, I have been exposed to the arts in multiple ways. I played the clarinet from fourth grade all the way through my senior year of high school in my school's concert and marching band. Also, I've taken advanced English and Literature classes since my freshman year. Throughout all of these classes, I had the chance to read and analysis all types of literary masterpieces. The most important lesson I learned from those courses is not always evident though. My teachers taught me how to appreciate good literature as a work of art. I am not going to lie and say that I have loved every single poem, play, or book that I was given. For the pieces of literature that I could not get into, I would look at it as more of a piece of art rather than a page full of words. From this and my evident love for all forms of art, I have been able to enjoy what I read more than I have before.
