Hi, I'm Madi (she/her)
I'm a sophomore at Bryn Mawr and my intended major is English. I was born on Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska (this was right before a lot of military bases started shutting down their hospitals) but I've lived in several places within the American South and Midwest. More recently, I was based in the suburbs around Warner Robins, GA. My mother was born in raised in Veracruz, a corregimiento in the Arraiján District, Panamá Oeste Province just outside of Panama City and I've had the privilege of travelling there every so often, but I unfortunately don't remember much regarding the city layout so I decided to talk about Warner Robins and the surrounding area.
One of the things I loved about the area was a nearby town called Perry, Georgia. It's about a five minute drive and everyone in Warner Robins might as well claim it as their own. It's home to a plethora of small business and small farmer's markets and many well preserved historical home. I think people like it so much because so much of our town (Warner Robins) revolves around the military (we even have a tacky water tower that reads EDIMGIAFAD- Everyday in Middle Georgia is Armed Forces Appreciation Day) and Perry offers a more aesthetic escape. I think I've discussed what I don't like about my town (intense military propaganda, ugly buildings that are only constructed for one purpose, etc)
Some of my hobbies include reading, writing, watching pretentious movies and pretending I understand them, and collecting vintage objects through thrifting. A fun fact about myself is that I can do Toni Collette's Hereditary monologue from memory. I don't know. I thought it was cool.
