Hi guys,
My name is Ema Barnes, and I’m one of those people who does way too many things.
I’m majoring in English and Political Science. I’m minoring in Spanish, Writing, and Computer Science, and I’m a Global Fellow. I’m planning on going to Morocco to study abroad for my entire junior year. Yes, this is all possible–I have my classes for all four years planned out (because I plan when I need to release stress!)
I was born and raised in Invercargill, New Zealand. I lived in San Francisco for six years before moving to Maryland for college. I consider Yellowstone National Park to be home–that’s where I’m happiest.
I’m a Resident Assistant for ANW’s second floor. I work on campus as a shift lead at our Telephone Outreach Program. I am the secretary of our pre-law fraternity, Phi Alpha Delta. I am the attorney general of Maryland Student Legislature, a simulation of state government where we write and debate our own legislation, and I also participate in Models Arab League, European Union, and United Nations. I also participate in our Outdoors club.
I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing with my life in terms of a master plan, so right now I’m doing interesting things that make me happy and trying to make it through alive. For fun, I write when I don’t have writer’s block, I read a lot of really bad young adult fiction and occasionally some good literature, and I obsess over music such as the Cure and Pink Floyd. I have a lot of fun, and I’m excited to share my experiences with you!

Ok wow! Look at that second paragraph! That is pretty much the epitome of the #mcdanieLifestyle. Way to go Ema!!
