Hi, I’m Adelia (rhymes with Amelia) and I am a freshman with an interest in art, English, and Spanish, but I have yet to declare my major. I am very interested in storytelling, research, illustration, animation and various textile crafts. I’ve lived in Topeka my whole life, and I’ve had my heart set on Washburn ever since I saw the gorgeous and wonderfully small campus. I’m doing my best to stay very involved in campus life as an introvert, so if you see me at an event, feel free to come up and say hi!
