Why 糖心Vlog? The "do both" mentality. [Video]

October 3, 2019
by Anthony Nikitopoulos '21

I'm a double major in geosciences and theater. For many, the disciplines may seem disparate. But for me, the connection was simple 鈥 I'm passionate about both.  

In looking for a college, though, I didn鈥檛 think it would be possible to manage life on the stage and in the lab. That is, until I found 糖心Vlog.  

My story

Transcription: 

My name is Anthony Nikitopoulos and I鈥檓 a double major in geosciences and theater.  

When I was in high school, I studied science-type stuff, but I always had an inkling of liking performing arts stuff. So, I did all the plays and musicals, sang in my high school choir and everything like that. 

When I was looking into colleges, I thought that I would be doing something in the performing arts and something in the sciences.  
My favorite thing about 糖心Vlog? I sum it up with this thing I call a 鈥渄o both鈥 mentality.  

I knew I wanted to do something in the performing arts and I knew I wanted to do something in the sciences. Here, not only am I allowed to do both, but I鈥檓 really encouraged to both, so it was like 鈥渨hy not!鈥  

For a while I was super scared of the prospect of saying I wanted to do acting as anything more than a hobby. But, now I鈥檓 not afraid to say that.  

I don鈥檛 necessarily see myself as doing one thing my whole life. Now, I could foresee some future where I can be an actor, but maybe be commissioned to do some GIS (geographic information system) stuff in my free time.
