My name is Tyler Strittmatter and I am a print Journalism major in my Senior year at BG. I am from Ridgefield, CT which is about 620 miles away from Bowling Green and about a 10 hour drive. I came to BG because it was cheap, they had a lot of majors, I like the Mid-West feel and they had a chapter of an organization I am involved in called Young Life. It is basically a mentorship group to get to know high school kids and help discuss any struggles they may have.
My goal is to be involved in any way that I can with either music or writing. The best way that I see the two of these things coinciding is working for publications like Rolling Stone or Spin. I consider myself a student of music and hope to know everything about how it is created, produced and packaged.
I play guitar and have a blog about guitar related topics called Shredding 6 Strings. Maybe I am alone in this fact but, I want to do something that I love so that I do not have to think of it as a job. When I say this I mean I would rather try a million times to succeed at something great and fail every time than settle for one stable mediocre job which I complain about to friends and family. I have enough people in my life who are un-happy with their current situation who do nothing but complain and never take any risks. So thanks to them, I am going to.
