One memory of my time at FSU that I’ll always remember is when David Kirby made my class randomly stand up and sing a song in class. It was so funny.

I would tell a student who is considering English as their major that if writing is something you love to do and you’re good at it, do it. You might not make the most money, but you’ll become a better writer and learn so much more about the world.
