Let me start out be saying that my
name is Jennifer Nygren but I prefer to be called Jenny. I'm a senior
majoring in Public Relations and minoring in Spanish at the University
of Oklahoma. Instead of telling you what I'm involved in, I have
decided to write about my passions and interests, because I feel that
helps people know so much more about who I am. I have a compiled a list
of three things that I love, in no particular order and in complete
spontaneity. These are just three loves that spoke to me while writing
this post on the last day of summer vacation.
Firstly, I love traveling and exploring new places.
I should be more specific and say that I love arriving at a new
destination and soaking in the surroundings. I studied abroad in Spain during the month of June and can't convey how amazing the experience was. I had the pleasure of visiting 4 different countries (Spain, Sweden, Portugal and England) and this gave me a huge bite from the travel bug. The
idea of traveling to a new corner of the world is effervescent.

Secondly, I love football. The
football program was a big influence to me when I chose to attend the
University of Oklahoma. Growing up my dad was frequently out of town, but during the times when he was in town
we'd spend hours watching football games on Saturdays and Sundays.
This passion even led me to pursue a marketing internship with the OU
Athletic Marketing Department, which I held from 2013-2014.

Thirdly, I love art. Growing up I was always a bit of tom-boy, but a tom-boy that loved reading, writing and photographs. One of the reasons that
I am taking this class is because the homework is doing activities that
I think are fun! I feel like there is a thrill in art. You can turn
each page in a book and never know what's written on the other side.
You can start writing and have no idea where the story is going to go.
And you can take a photograph and have no clue how it's going to turn
out. Below is a picture of me and my best friend, Tori, taken on a
Polaroid camera during a night of unexpected experiences. It could have
turned out atrocious, but instead it preserved one of my new favorite
memories.
