My name is Nicole Salars, and I am a new reporter for ASU Odyssey. I currently study English and Philosophy here at ASU. Both of my majors share my passion for writing in an academic environment, while here at ASU Odyssey I write a wide range of topics between of lifestyle pieces and student life.

I am currently a sophomore, however I am on track to graduate early in Spring of 2022. I plan to attend law school in Southern California, which is my place of peace. I grew up here in Arizona, but the best desicion I ever made was staying here and attending ASU for my undergrad. Arizona definitely has an unspoken beauty that I will always call home, and in many ways ASU is a part of me and who I've become thus far.

In my free time I love to sing (albeit, not that well), play guitar, and spend quality time with those that I love. I, controversially, enjoy country music; but I love all forms of music especially alternative-rock and alt-pop. I adore old movies; anything with Audrey Hepburn honestly. One fun fact about me is that I can actually do a half-way decent Celine Dion impression.My favorite modern shows include American Horror Story, Jane the Virgin, and Hart of Dixie. I absolutely consider myself a romantic and I love love!

I hope to show my passions in life and my enthusiasm for writing in my work and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of the team at ASU Odyssey.
