Classic Bev

Hi! I’m Bev Brooks, a 21-year-old senior here at the College of Wooster. I’m a Classical Studies major/Comparative Literature minor and I hail from Kent, Ohio (though I was born in Syracuse, NY). I have a lot of loves, everything from dancing to Classics (especially Rome–sigh) to Wooster itself (insert cheesy comment here). I’ve wanted to go into public relations since I was 13. I took one of those career aptitude tests in 8th grade. The first time I took it, it said I should be a public relations specialist and that sounded like it would fit me perfectly. I love talking with people and changing the way someone sees the world–and the way the world sees others. For the record, though, the second time, I filled it in with silly answers and the test said I should be a model– so if this whole PR thing doesn’t work out, clearly modeling is my backup. I’d have to start learning how to stand for long periods of time though. And grow a solid nine inches. Note to self…

Why Classic Bev? Well partially because I’m a Classics major and I wanted to be clever (ugh, did it fail miserably?) and partially because this blog will be student life directly from a student–reality only. It’s going to cover everything imaginable–or at least it’ll try. Social life, classes, Wooster traditions (just wait till it snows!!), some backstory on myself. Stay tuned as I navigate through my senior year and all that comes with it–IS, senior events, grad school vs the “real world”–ahhhh!! If you have any questions or comments, just post or email me at bbrooks08@wooster.edu.

I’m really looking forward to this year, especially since I get to share it with all of you. Cheeseball, I know, but it’s only cause it’s summer. Wait till the year starts, I’m sure my trademark sarcasm will set in.
