Classics, as a study, was never a topic that I considered before I began studying at IUPUI. I had always found mythology an interesting subject; I would seek out books all through middle school and high school that touched on the inanities of the ancient gods. Once I began studying mythology in college, I began to see the physical side of the study, the examination of artifacts and art, the collection of cultures long gone, with a far more interested eye. Today, I use my Classics minor to make inside jokes with my friends, broaden my knowledge of a real world beyond my imagination, and use my new access to ancient literature to color my own creative writing.

I started studying Classics my freshman year back in 2016 because I’ve always had a general interest in history. Though at the time I hadn’t decided what I wanted to do with my life yet, I knew that if ever wanted to pursue my interests in the museum field, I would need a background in Classics. So here I am four years later, History Minor completed, Classics Minor almost completed, and Museum Studies Certificate almost completed. I love learning about ancient Greece and Rome, and having a background in Classics will help make me marketable to future employers.
