Biography

Hi! My name is Katherine Buchholz and I am currently a rising senior at Longwood University and in the Cormier Honors College. I am a History major and Anthropology minor, originally from Arlington, Virginia. I am not sure yet what I want to do with my degree after college, but I am considering going to Graduate school or working in the museum business in some way if I think those things are a good fit for myself. I became a history major because i have always been good at remembering details from the history and social studies classes I have taken. I liked my teachers for those classes too. Also, I feel like being a history major can prepare me for many different paths in life and lead me to one that best suites me. What I learn as a history major can help me understand the past and figure out what is best for the future. Moreover, i decided to become an anthropology minor because I feel like many of the ideas are similar to history and I think it is interesting to see how people have changed over time by looking at the artifacts left behind and how people have changed over time. My major and minor suit my personality well and will help me go far in life. This blog will allow you to read about the opportunities I have had through the Honors College and Longwood.
