what the freak is up?!! i’m leon, im a freshman from minnesota, and im majoring in comedy writing and performance! i like listening to music, playing video game (just the one is fine thanks), collecting comics, and hanging out with my friends! can’t wait to giggle and goof at columbia for the next four years! hmu if you wanna talk or something another. SMILES!!!!

Mi name is Andriana! Andri for short! Hehehe! I'm doing the take over today! I am a transfer student coming in from Harold Washington College.

I like to say that I'm an Artisana. Why, you might ask? Artisanal is an adjective that means something is made by hand or with traditional methods and is special. It can also describe something that is made in limited quantities by a skilled craftsperson.

This is exactly what I attempt to do with every project I come across. To break apart a craft and reconstruct to my creativity. This is why I prefer, as a photographer, to shoot analog. I like to play with every part of the process to make something unique ✨️ and beautiful, poetic and sentimental.

I am eager to employ and further grow my Artisania and meet you all. Do some collaborations and just learn!

Hi! I’m Emily from Orlando, FL and I’m going to be taking over the Columbia Admit page today! WOOOOOO 🥳
Some fun things to know about me: I’m a freshman majoring in Comedy Writing and Performance! I’ve been doing theatre since I was three and writing scripts since I was twelve. I’m super excited to move to Chicago, but I’m also super super nervous 😅 I was previously the president and historian of my high school theatre club! My favorite musical is Little Shop of Horrors, my favorite play is The Nerd by Larry Shue, my favorite movie is Finding Nemo, and my favorite show is SpongeBob. Some of my biggest inspirations are Rick Moranis, Ben Schwartz, Martin Short, Nora Ephron (MY QUEEN), Carol Burnett, and Amy Poehler. I love going to theme parks, writing, acting, singing, and the occasional painting. I tend to write things in lists. I’ve seen the movie When Harry Met Sally 194 times.
Okay that’s all for now, catch me on the stories! 🕺

Hi Everyone!

Hi everyone. I’m todays Instagram takeover. I’m Julija(Julia) and I’m Music Business Major transfer from College Of DuPage. Little bit about myself is that over this summer I had a chance to visit my home country of Lithuania, that I haven’t visited in a while and sing in a song festival with a choir I’m part of and other 11k singers together. I guess that isn’t that much to say about me, except that I love singing and watching basketball games.
