I am here to explain to you the depths of what exactly musickim has come to represent. Believe it or not, this title encompasses much more than just a blogger’s screen name. Rather, it is a title I have carried with me since middle school, a time when no 10 year old in their right mind knows where they will end up in their life. And yet, by some mysterious force, I managed to create my first ever email account with a username that excellently pinpointed my true passion for the last 10 years of my life: music.
Now, you should also know that I have much more in my life than just music (difficult to believe, I know, considering I came to Michigan to be a clarinet performance major in the School of Music). In all seriousness though, there are many topics and interests that hold me captivated that are completely outside of the music world. For as long as I can remember, I have thoroughly enjoyed all forms of the arts, attending every museum my parents could find throughout my childhood, soaking up the new architecture wherever I traveled, reading random books on art history where I’d find them in obscure book stores, getting an education on photography from my father who has a natural gift for composition, watching many an ‘oldie’ film thanks to my parents’ appreciation of the classics, and most importantly appreciating the nature that I was privileged to experience growing up in California and spending many summers hiking, camping, and going on road trips throughout the US.
I also like to think of myself as having a unique perspective in the art world, considering I am a scientist at heart. I have always been fascinated by physics, and hope to someday be a scientific researcher in the field of astrophysics.
So all in all, musickim is a musician at heart who loves the clean straightforwardness of science and can’t wait to cover as many big, obscure, hipster, and mainstream arts on campus as she can physically fit into her college career. Here’s to an optimistic start of my blogging career!! Stay tuned….
