Becky Newby, Student Minister, Community Life Committee
I extend my warmest greetings to all who have stumbled up on my biography. I am Rebecca Newby, but all the cool kids call me Becky. I’m a second year student at Thurgood Marshall College at UCSD. I’m involved in a Marshall student organization called SCORE. If you go to Marshall, you should check it out. We have food at every meeting. I also work at OASIS as a receptionist. When I’m not using my life to enhance residential life and I’m not at work raking in the dollars, I’m in class or studying.
I plan to double major in Writing and Music Humanities. If you don’t know what Music Humanities is, don’t feel bad, no one knows. When I meet new people and tell them my major, no one ever knows what it is, and if someone tries to act as if they know, I know they really don’t, and I laugh. Music Humanities is a combination Music, Music History, Literature, Sociology, Anthropology, and all that jazz.
Concerning writing… I like to write things. I write poems, lyrics (which are basically poems), fiction, nonfiction, random clusters of words that sound nice together and I examine the beauty of individual words. Just recently, I realized my fondness for the word “embassy.”
I have lived my whole life, up until fall 2006, in Imperial, California. That’s two hours east of here, out in the Mojave Desert. My little sister, Christie, is three years younger than I am; she’s a junior at Imperial High, working her way through those AP courses to get into a cool university, maybe even one like UCSD. My mom and dad live there too. They’re chillin’ with my Yellow Labrador Retriever, Luna, who I adore because she is my blonder, furrier twin sister. That’s about it for me,
