Alena

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

My name is Alena, and I’m a Creative Writing major and Philosophy minor in the first semester of my sophomore year at New England College. After college I’ll probably do Peace Corps or something along those lines, and then go to grad school to get my MFA in Poetry. When I grow up (never!) I wanna be a travel writer— think Anthony Bourdain, but a little cuter and a lot less drunk. I enjoy writing and performing poetry, feminism-ing, fangirling, laughing at jokes that aren’t funny (which usually I’ve just told), procrastinating homework in favor of blogging, and sing-yelling to Mumford & Sons songs and show tunes with my friends.
