Leland Culver '24 - Introduction V2.0
Hello, dear readers, and welcome to my humble digital abode. My name is Leland Culver (he/they), and I am well into Amherst College: Sophomore Year Edition. Despite last year's pandemic...shall we say...difficulties, I found I quickly grew rather attached to this place — it feels like a second home to me. I’m originally from Gary, Indiana, and I’m a prospective Theater and Dance major (that's just one major, not two). Soon enough, I'll have to update this to remove the "prospective" from that phrase.
Like many Amherst students, my interests range far and wide beyond my majors. I'm very heavily involed with the Green Room, the student theater group (just finished my fifth show with them!); I’ve written for both the Indicator, a student literary magazine, and the Amherst Student, the student newspaper; I’m secretary of the Fencing Club and president of the Theatrical Choreography Club; and, when I can, I hang out with the Board Game Club. I'm also in a D&D group (there are lots of those on this campus, if you're interested).
Since this is mark II of this blog, I've been thinking I'll take the time to cover many different things; hopefully I can spare at least one entry to everything I've mentioned here. One thread you may notice is that through it all run my friends, a group of lovely people that I feel quite lucky to have. That's probably some kind of trite, but it's true.
If you have any questions, whether about campus life, academics, or any of the things I’ve talked about above, you can reach me at gculver24@amherst.edu. I look forward to hearing from you!
