Hi! I’m Sydney, a freshman at the University of Vermont studying sustainability, ecology, and policy, with a concentration in policy and a minor in film and television studies.
Writing hasn’t always come easily to me, in fact, if I’m being honest, I used to struggle with it a lot. That started to change during my sophomore year of high school, when I discovered a love for reading. The more I read, the more my writing began to grow, and I slowly found my voice.
Along the way, I also realized that writing isn’t about meeting other people’s expectations, it’s about expressing something real. I connect most with my writing when it’s personal, when it comes from a place that feels honest and deeply rooted in my own experiences. I tend to feel things intensely, no matter how big or small, and I think that emotional depth shows up in my work. My hope is that it resonates with others who feel the same way.
