A Little Bit About Me

Hi everybody, my name is Maryna (pronounced Marina), and I am from France! I have been in San Diego for three years and a half now and I am loving it! My family stayed in France so I am by myself here, like most international or exchange students. I am trying to go back home as much as possible. I used to go back every six months but I was stuck in San Diego for two years before going back last Christmas. It was hard at first but once I saw them again, everything was fine again!

Why San Diego you ask? Why it’s simple! The weather and the people! I came here for a month in the summer of 2015 and I fell in love with the city. People were so nice and I discovered so many things that it was like love at first sight.
So I started studying at San Diego Mesa College and I graduated with and Associate Degree in Spanish two years ago. There, I met my best friend who basically adopted me since we met! I worked for a year in two restaurants and it was an amazing experience. And I started my adventure at SDSU in August 2018; I have been enjoying every second of it, the campus is amazing! I will be graduating next May with a Bachelor in Linguistics, hopefully with a minor in Management.

Since I was little, I loved listening to music and watching a lot of movies (and I mean a LOT, I could just spend a day or two on my couch watching movies). I got very interested in languages in High School, I was taking German because my parents made, English because we did not have any other choice and Spanish because I wanted to challenge myself. I then studied Spanish and English at a university in Paris and I really liked it. I had translation classes and I thought, “this is great! I would love to do that but for movies!”.
So here I am, in California studying Linguistics and trying know where I am going next!

That’s all for me,
