Hey Guys!

Hi everyone!  My name is Sheridan Soderstrom and I have been a student at CI for 4 years.  I expect to graduate in Spring 2017 and while that’s a year away, my nerves are setting in since I find each year seems to go swifter than the previous one!  I’m a 22 year old Communications major and incredibly happy to be one.  I have a deep appreciation for the art of communication and believe that if one can fine tune their communication skills, the world will become their oyster.

I am an only child born and raised in Burbank, California.  It was a lovely place to grow up and it will always be home.  I had the wonderful opportunity to dorm at Channel Islands my first year and a half of my college career.  I was fortunate in that my interactions with my roommates were nothing short of amazing and one of them has become one of my nearest and dearest friends.  On the subject of friends, I have a great group of people in my life including my boyfriend and friends that have been in my life for years (one of whom for 20 years!).  I consider my relationships to be a fundamental part of my identity as well as past/future lessons and compassion and understanding.

On a much lighter note, a guilty media pleasure of mine, without a shadow of a doubt is reality TV.  I love everything from the Real Housewives franchise on Bravo to Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  I’m a little ashamed to admit that and I promise have other far more redeeming interests!

I’m really excited for summer to begin and all the fun adventures that come along with this time of year.  I am also looking forward to this course starting and am confident that it will be awesome!  Here’s to a great 5 weeks (:
