Intern Blog: About Blair

If you want to get to know me…

I am 22 years old and a Student at Shepherd University. I will be graduating this spring and will continue to live in Shepherdstown. I am originally from Westminster Maryland, home of McDaniel College. Growing up in Westminster exposed me to some interesting things. This area while having lots of farmland was always very urban as well. There is always something to do there. I’ve lived there my whole life except for college. As a child struggling with gender and sexuality even from a young age, being from a fairly conservative part of the state made it hard to express those feelings without facing some sort of backlash. As a child I remember playing soccer for different teams in the area or hanging out with friends from school but going through teen years proved to give me a different outlook on my hometown. I still visit and reminisce of old stories that happened there but moving forward is always good. Now that I have gotten older my interests have changed from action figures, and sports, and cartoons to film, social media, and cartoons. Having almost graduated college I look back and don’t regret my decisions, I instead look forward to what the future holds in store. I plan on working in the film industry out of college and shortly moving West to start a more permanent life.
