Studyblr Intro

Hi there! I’m Duncan and since I’m starting my first year of college in 7 weeks, I decided to become more active on my studyblr to save resources I find handy for college.

What sets me different from the studyblr community is that I’m a music performance/education major in double bass studies and there arent many resources in the studyblr community that pertain to my major. But I am minoring in Peace and Conflict studies, with studies in Quakerism so it’s not a total lost!

My classes for the first semester are Music Theory 101 (I took AP Music theory in high school but it’s required to take theory 101, bleh), English 101 (when AP Scores come out, I’m going to see if I can place out of 101 into English 102), Quakerism and two more that I can’t think off the top o my head. But it comes to a total of 17 credits!

Some cool facts about me (this is where it gets real nerdy):

 I’m 18 years old and I live in North Carolina, USA.

I am a multi instrumentalist. I can play piano, cello, double bass, violin, viola, bass guitar, electric guitar, and a little bit of the marimbas.

I’ve played in classical and jazz ensembles. As a senior, I was second chair bass in High Point University’s Community Orchestra (I was the only high school student in my section and one of the only two high school students in the entire orchestra!!)

I’m going to be a freshman in college and my school’s mascot are the Quakers!!

I own four lovely dogs, Quinny (10 years old), Sheena (8 years old), Amelia (7 years old) and Levi (3 years old)

I am very passionate about music and I tend to cry during performances (even if I’m playing in it!)

My favorite symphony of ALL TIMES is the Brahms “Ein deutsches Requiem Op. 45” and I had the chance to perform in when I played with High Point University.

I am student athlete. I run cross country, I am a competitive swimmer, and I am a low-attack lacrosse player for the womens team.

As of right now, I am working at a pool in a neighboring city and lemme tell you, it. Sucks. 

I am Quaker! A Quaker going to a Quaker school to study about being a Quaker. Makes sense right?

I like studying outside and with music (I shall make a studying playlist soon) but I also enjoy doing work at Starbucks or Target.

I am also fascinated with Gender Studies and might take a class on it next semester.

Oh! And Im an artist (follow my art blog if ya like @africado )

ANyway, enough about me. I can’t wait to interact with all my studyblrs.My blog is a hot mess right now as far as theme and mobile looks but bare with me, I’m gonna fix it. And a big thanks that got me inspired me: @studyign @studyblr @nightlystudying @castillos-co

So...

I guess I might be reviving this blog after a few years of inactivity.

I started it as a 16 year old supposedly cishet asexual who had plans to get their GED and start college early.

So let me reintroduce myself.

Hi, my name is Atlas, they/them, and I'm 24 years old.

I think I'm considered a nontraditional student. I attend the University of Michigan as a transfer student and commuter. I'm a senior who will need another year or two to finish, and I'm majoring in English and general music studies (which I might drop soon).

My biggest area of interest is disability studies, but I'm also chasing creative writing pretty hard right now.

I'm neurodivergent, and the two I'm quick to claim are Autism and ADHD. I'm the vice president of the Autism Spectrum Club on campus.

I'm still struggling with studying, though, so as I figure shit out, I'll be sharing it here on this blog, I guess.

Want the full story?

I started community college at 18 at School A, transferred a year later to School B, and then graduated with an AA and an AGS in 2022, at age 22. Then, a year later, I went back to School C for one semester taking two graphic design classes and a social work class.

During that semester, I waited, holding my breath, for admissions decisions to 4-year schools. I got accepted into every school I applied to, and took the option with the best financial aid package, not knowing much about the school aside from that.

I accepted admission to the University of Michigan with essentially a full-ride scholarship, later finding out it's considered a top university. Oops!

During my time at School B, I also found out I had ADHD and was Autistic, which explained pretty much everything about me to that point? So imagine my surprise when I learn that UMich has an autism spectrum club.

Long story short, I made friends, I love my classes, and I love my course of study, BUT I also have a lot of academic issues and problems with trauma that have been getting in my way. I figure that if I can maintain a 3.7 while struggling this hard, imagine what I could do if I figure shit out! I could be an academic weapon for sure!

So That's Why I'm Back!
