Georgia Southern is bursting with vibrant students with unique personalities! This segment of the George-Anne Daily is to introduce you to students that you may not have the pleasure of meeting. The Statesboro campus has many diverse students from different backgrounds that the university celebrates, so there’s never a dull moment on campus.

We are here to introduce Geno Brown, a senior majoring in English with a minor in Art Studio.

George-Anne Staff: How has your experience at Georgia Southern gone so far?

Geno B.: “I’m pretty fine with it. I hear about other people, like my friends who go to different colleges, and be like ‘man that’s crazy.’ I’m gonna go over here to the Pokémon Club. So, there’s a lot of nice things to do on campus.”

George-Anne Staff: What was your hardest and most fun class?

Geno B.: “The hardest class I’ve had so far is Geology. I’m just not built for it. I can tell the teacher knew what she’s talking about, but the whole time I was sitting there, I was like I don’t know. The most fun class I’ve taken was Creative Writing with Professor Drevlow, who does Burning Swamp.”

George-Anne Staff: Could you go into detail about the minor in Art Studio as an English major?

Geno B.: “I wanted to minor in art because I believe with an English major you have to pick one anyhow, but I wanted to pick something that I actually wanted to do, but for a while I went into PR because I was very scared, you know. I was very scared about my creative endeavors, and around last semester, I realized that there was no harm in just taking the leap and going for it, and so I swapped over from a PR minor to Art Studio.”

George-Anne Staff: What career field are you going into after college?

Geno B.: “I’d like to be an author, but I don’t mind doing a bunch of other jobs in a writing field first to just get my feet down and to support myself on my writing entirely. I guess getting a more proper job before so that I can be able to fund the ability to become an author.”

George-Anne Staff: Is there any advice you would give to younger students?

Geno B.: “Just stick with it. I mean, keep your nose to the grindstone; you’ll get through it. It may look really big when you’re at the bottom, but as you start climbing up, it gets smaller and smaller.”
