BluePrint: What are you planning on majoring in?

Southwell: I want to major in history.

BluePrint: What made you choose this specific major?

Southwell: I love history. It’s one of the greatest things you could ever learn about, in my opinion. My favorite topic is American History, and I’ve learned a ton from Mr. McMinn.

BluePrint: What do you think will be some of the major differences between college and high school?

Southwell: College is going to be much, much harder- which means I’m going to have to drop my procrastinating ways and really fast. It’ll be time to stop making excuses and actually work.

BluePrint: What are your feelings on moving on from Bellwood-Antis High School?

Southwell: I’ll definitely miss it. The faculty here are always so willing to help you through anything, which is something I’ll be giving up next year. But on the other hand, it’s been a very long 13 years here.
