My name is Jana Allen, I am a journalism junior here at the University of Oklahoma. Along with taking classes, I have worked at the OU Daily for two years this month and I am also involved in Chi Alpha Campus Ministries.
My hometown is Muskogee, Oklahoma—yes, I'm an Okie from Muskogee :-)
My dream for the future is to become a full-time investigative reporter, and my work at The Daily is definitely preparing me for that. I've been able to write several investigative style pieces, and I've got a couple things in the works right now. My work at The Daily is definitely the thing I'm most proud of during my time at OU, and I'm so thankful that I chose to attend a school with such a high-ranking college media outlet!
Now, I'll tell you guys some of my favorite things. First off, my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice and I love anything P&P related: fanfiction, all the movie/tv adaptations, silly web series on YouTube, funko pop's, etc. I recently decided to collect different editions of the book, and I've got three so far. I also love books in general, and since coming to college I haven't had tons of time to sit down and read a book. So, I have been avidly listening to audio books and I highly recommend it if you love fiction but don't have the time. I love anything with romance, sci-fi, or fantasy. I also love the Star Wars movies and just recently finished watching The Mandalorian. I recommend it to all Star Wars fans.
On a more personal level, I got engaged last October to my boyfriend of over 3.5 years and we are getting married this September. I am so so excited to move into this next chapter of my life. I always said I didn't want to get married while still in college, but in the last year we just really became ready to take that next step in our love story.
I might update this post as the semester goes on, but for now I've got to go! Thanks for reading.
