Hi everyone! My name is Avery, and I am a first year student here at Vanderbilt. I am interested in studying astronomy because the stars have fascinated me ever since I was a little girl. Fun fact: I used to look through topographical maps of different planets and write down all of the names I recognized. I especially loved learning the names of the moons and their connection to Greek mythology.
Although astronomy is interesting to me, I am actually majoring in communication studies with minors in Spanish and visual arts. I have an art blog I created for my high school that teaches students about making digital art, so this isn’t my first rodeo with WordPress luckily! No blog for communications or Spanish, though, sorry…
When I’m not in class, you can normally find me at Vanderbilt’s Recreation Center. I work there as a lifeguard, so if you’re ever visiting the pool, stop and say hi! I also love reading, photography, and basically anything creative and DIY. My favorite thing I’ve ever created was a Harry Potter monopoly game for my younger sister for Christmas, complete with wizard themed game pieces and magical currency.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and joining me on my Solar System adventure. I can’t wait to share more of my interests and what I learn as the semester continues!

I think I told you that I started as an undergrad as a graphic arts major! I use my artistic abilities visualizing in celestial dynamics very often!

I didn’t know you had an art blog. That is very interesting. How did you make a Harry Potter monopoly game? I am very interested in that.

Sorry this is such a late response! I made a pdf of the game board and printed it out at Office Word, before laminating it. Everything else I printed out on cardstock – if you ever want the pdfs I can definitely share!
