Hello, readers! My name is Taylor and I am a senior Language and Linguistics student. I've been on the drum line for three years (1st year on cymbals, 2nd and 3rd years on bass drum) and this year I'm trying saxophone so I can do court side players. I'm living with my best friend, Heather McGowan, this year and couldn't be more excited about it! (ONE UH-LEVEEEEENNNN!!!!!)
Me and my drumline bros!
My best friend and I sporting our happy faces!
Some of the coolest people I know: Allyson, Chelsea, Heather, Lynn,
Brenna, and Emily!
Brenna, and Emily!
I crossed in 2010 with the lovely ladies of Serendipity (I'm the tall one in the gold dress making the creepy face) and will graduate from Baylor in August 2013. I would say the most notable thing about me is that I'm very indecisive. Any active member knows what I'm talking about considering the times I have switched my major.
Since enrolling at Baylor, I have had a total of 5 majors, changing my major 7 times. It went from nutrition science, music composition, neuroscience, linguistics, neuroscience, architecture, environmental science, then back to linguistics, which is what I am currently. Crazy, right? And what's crazier is that I'm still graduating in a normal amount of time. I won't have to stay for a fifth year! Only thing is that I can't really afford to change it again so this one will have to stick. :P
Some of the cool things I'll be studying for the rest of my life.
My future plans will hopefully include graduate school in historical linguistics, with a focus on Indo-european languages. I found a professor that I really like at Ohio State who does research on just that. I have my eye on some other programs but so far that one is the best. I'm stoked.
I have no idea what to write here but you get the picture.
Even though there has been a lot of changes in my life since starting my undergraduate studies, one thing that has always been constant has been my love for marching band and my sisters. It's nice to know that even though life has its twists and turns, ups and downs, your sister will be there to help you find your way… and laugh at all the major-change reports you have in meeting… and sulk when I'm still graduating before them.
Sic'em Bears & ITB,
Taylor "Cookie freakin' Monster" MacKay
