Hello! My name is Hayliann Smith and I’m currently a Sophomore at Amherst College (Class of 2028). I’m from a small town called Mexico, New York (which makes Amherst feel like a big city) and I am an English and Psychology double major. I’ve had a lot of fun trying out the many different clubs on campus, but the ones that I’ve enjoyed the most and stuck with are the Poetry Club, Outing Club, and the Indicator, which is a student-run literary magazine. In my free time, I love reading, writing, going on runs on the Norwottuck Rail Trail, and trying out new cafés in Amherst. A fun fact about me is that I’ve written two full-length novels, and I am hoping to publish one of them before I graduate college. My biggest dream is to be an author, and I love how Amherst’s creative writing classes help support that! I’m excited to start blogging about my experiences at Amherst and helping you get an inside perspective of living at Amherst College!
