About Me!
Hi, I'm ROC!
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for coming to read my blog. This blog will be able to touch on different topics with each post that I find interesting and informative. I will cite and attach links to all of my information and would love if you all find it interesting. Feel free to reach out to me too if you want to talk about a topic 💖
I double majored in Marine Biology and International Studies (Globalization concentration) during my undergraduate. When I am not reading/watching movies/learning, I enjoy taking walks and go into online global forums.
How I Got Into International Studies:
I always liked different cultures, but I probably got into international studies was in high school. I started obsessively reading newspapers from different countries around the world. Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't know enough of a second language to broaden my readings out of English written newspapers which are typically biased to varying extents. Now, I read articles in both English and Spanish, so some of my articles will be in sourced to Spanish newspapers.
Why I Decided to Start the Blog:
I like international studies and wanted to help people learn more. I also enjoy teaching and this is amazing practice on learning how to break down some very big concepts. I will try to explain these the best I can, but I might also discuss how some concepts are even crazier when we see them evolve over time. I also lean towards constructivism in a lot of my research but I will make sure to touch on some other theories/ ontologies.
Where I Want to Travel to:
I want to go basically everywhere at different points. Right now, I want to travel to some countries in Europe since my travel plans were COVID cancelled and I have friends there. I have friends living in almost every continent though so I would love to visit them all.
