Hi. My name is Jocelyn Stein, and I’m from Los Angeles, CA. I attend Oglethorpe University and absolutely love it. I like all kinds of things, have a variety of interests, and I am not sure what I want to do when I grow up. In my time at Oglethorpe so far I have created my own major (Media Studies), studies abroad (Italy), work on campus, and have been a part of some awesome clubs (SGA, ODK, Tri-Sigma, Honor Council). The best thing about me is my passion and enthusiasm for what I do. Someday, I’m going to win an Olympic medal, inspire a Google doodle, be a question or answer on Jeopardy, perform a citizen’s arrest, and do all kinds of awesome things.
