I was going to go for an English major, but after [one] class I thought, “Let’s go for philosophy.” Because, of course, there is so much reading in a philosophy course of study, and I do love to read. There is a lot of psychology in philosophy, which I found fascinating. And it has been very helpful in my writing.
