| Me at Disneyland this summer. |
About Me: My name is Dylan and this is my fourth year at the great University of Oklahoma! I am studying broadcast journalism while minoring in international studies. I play the saxophone in the Pride of Oklahoma and also anchor for OU Nightly. You can watch me this fall live at 4:30 p.m. starting in late September on our website. I am from the small town of Sallisaw, Okla. My family has lived there almost the whole time since moving from different countries in Europe.
Why I'm Taking The Class: To be 100% honest, I really needed an upper division western credit and this sounded like the best option. Now after being in the class for a bit, I absolutely love it! I feel like I am a kid again and have found my creative side. For so long I have been writing facts and figures and depressing news stories, but with this class I am able to let my creativeness flow as much as I want.
Hobbies & Interests: It's no surprise that I love anything and everything related to news. If I'm on my computer or my phone and not working on a project, I'm most likely on a news site trying to absorb everything I can. I am also an avid reader. I really enjoy post apocalyptic dystopian type books where the good guys always win. I studied abroad last summer in the great city of Seville, in Spain and I have completely fell in love with it. I hope one day to go back! My guilty pleasure I would have to say is watching Big Brother on CBS. I absolutely love that show! One of my goals is to become a member one season, but I'm not sure how that will affect my professional goals.
Life Motto: "Do what makes you happy."
In the past 23 years I've been on this earth I have learned quite a few things. The most important is that life is too short not to enjoy yourself. Do something because it makes you happy, not because someone else wants you to. Don't worry what other people think about you because at the end of the day, the people that matter the most won't care.
