Hi! My name is Alyssa Godwin. I’m a senior (last semester, yay!) double-majoring in English and History. I first began my journey at San Diego State by completing most of my English degree (except for this singular course, actually) before transitioning to my History major. I focus primarily on women’s and gender history, World War II, and the French Revolution. If not in the library or the cafes scattered around campus, you can probably find me on the fifth floor of Arts and Letters. I work extremely closely with the history department as a tutor, grader, and member of various historical honor societies (yay, history!). Some fun facts about me, in case we ever find ourselves in an individual trivia scenario, are that I love Studio Ghibli productions, pit bull rescue/fostering, and my favorite book of all time is Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. I will very passionately die on the Louisa May Alcott fan club hill. I’m so excited to begin this course with all of you and dive deep into this novel!
Hi Alyssa! We are matching double majors! Congrats on your last semester, that is super exciting. Little Women is on my to-be read list, its a favorite of so many people I know. I loved that you listed some study spots, I’ve been looking for places in between classes to get some work done, I would love if you had any more recs.
Great to have you here, Alyssa. Thanks for the introduction! And welcome!
Hey! So excited to find more people into D&D. I find the larger table top club a bit intimidating with the amount of people in there, and for myself being such a big vampire fan, I actually haven’t played through Curse of Strahd at all! I’ve heard a lot of good things, and I’d absolutely love to chat about it anytime! Studio Ghibli is also a big classic, I’ve never cried harder at a movie that wasn’t Grave of the Fireflies.
