Hi everyone! My name is Milena Bittmar and I’m the newest member of The Quack Magazine, so I thought I would just introduce myself briefly! I am a student at Edge Hill University, in my second year, studying English Literature. I’m also from Manchester!
I picked English as I have a passion for writing (that’s why I’m here!) and reading. I like writing short stories, poetry and recently started writing articles and reviews. While I was choosing what subject I wanted to do at university, I picked English as I always wanted to become a journalist – I probably watched Gilmore girls one too many times! Now, currently being in second year, I have fallen in love with the idea of working for a publishing company, as an editor.
When it comes to reading, my favourite genres are definitely contemporary and literary fiction, as well as modern classics and poetry.
People have always described me as both feisty or loud and hyper! I’m also quite confrontational, which gets me into trouble a lot, and many of my friends have said that I am the ‘mother’ of the group, which makes sense – I have always said I feel like I’m just a grandma!
When I’m not doing university work, I’m usually listening to Lana Del Rey (another obsession I have!), reading, or writing things. I love being around people, and going on long walks. I also love dancing, and have done ballroom and latin for quite a while, as well as modern morris.
Recently, I have also started an Instagram page devoted to just books, writing reviews, posting hauls and anything else literary, and I’m loving the freedom to have my own platform and post whatever I like!
Quick questions and answers:
Favourite movie?
Dirty Dancing.
Favourite food?
Lasagna (ask my friends, I can make a sexy lasagna) and pierogis.
Favourite book?
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.
Favourite song?
Anything by Harry Styles, Fletcher or Lana Del Rey.
I’m looking forward to writing pieces for The Quack, and I hope you like them!
