Hello, I am Jayda Hudson (she/her), a GSU student majoring in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. A lover of fashion, musicals, and travel, I have always been keen on delving into new things and expanding my horizons. However, it was at a young age that my passion for writing was quickly discovered. Through reading countless novels and getting lost in my creative thoughts I knew that I wanted to be able to create my own stories that allow readers to enter a fictional world that leaves a lasting impression.

Having just recently switched my major, with the decision to turn this lifelong hobby into a career, I find myself having to look at what I create with a new perspective. It is now not a form of escapism but what I will use to impact others. Due to this change, it is important for me that I am constantly looking at the world through the eyes of a writer. Everything is valuable and anything can be written about. As I continue to take my classes, I want them to help me expand my vocabulary, better structure my writing, and overall improve my skills. 

While my main focus is still to become an author, I also want to allow myself to explore the many things that come with my major. I believe that majoring in English can bring a wide selection of career opportunities that I previously would have never been aware of. So with that, as I come down to the wire in my college years, my intentions are to work on honing my craft and step into doors that were previously closed.

Wishing all readers an amazing semester and may the hard work you put in reflect in your journey toward your goals.
