Her Campus: What activities are you involved in on and off campus?
Brandon Sherbo: Bloomsburg Men’s Swim Team, Writing Tutor at Bloomsburg Writing Center, Sigma Tau Delta Honors Fraternity
HC: What made you choose to come to Bloomsburg?
BS: I thought it was a really nice campus, they had a Creative Writing major and I came to swim for Stu and Erin, our two amazing swim coaches. I also got an athletic scholarship.
HC: What’s your favorite class you’ve ever taken at Bloom and why?
BS: My favorite class I’ve taken is European Literature I with Stephen Whitworth. He’s an amazing professor and friend and I love the texts we read like the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid because I’ve always been into mythology.
HC: As a creative writing major, do have any specific career aspirations?
BS: Yes, I’m a really motivated person and I hope to be a famous author one day through my own fiction novels. I also want to move to New York and work as an editor at a large publishing company.
HC: With the weather warming up, are you looking forward to any spring activities?
BS: I’m just looking forward to being outside more, being able to wear less clothes, and not having to bundle up to go out for the night.
HC: We all know campus food leaves much to be desired. Do you have a go-to food place in or around town?
BS: I like going to Husky. You can still get good food even when your flex runs out. I always get a chicken salad bagel, chips and a pickle for a meal swipe now that my flex has been out for a month.
HC: As finals approach, do you have a favorite study space that really gets you focused?
BS: This sounds pretty awful but I don’t really study that much. I never did in high school either. When I do study, though, it’s usually at my work-study job as a tutor at the writing center when I’m not working with any writers in a session.
HC: Once finals are over and we’re free to go home, do you have any great summer plans? Or, perhaps more practically, a summer job?
BS: I usually lifeguard every summer in a neighborhood near my house. Near the end of July, I go to the Outer Banks for two weeks and this August my uncles are getting married in Washington D.C. so I can’t wait!
