Hi, friends! My name is Sydney Olsen and I am a first-year world cinema major with a screenwriting minor from West Boylston, Massachusetts. I am the newly appointed assistant TimeOut editor and I could not be happier to be here.
During my first semester with The Tiger I’ve made the most incredible connections and have had the most exciting opportunities to cover all the things I am most passionate about. As a film student, with a special place in my heart for journalism, I knew TimeOut was the place for me!
In the TimeOut section we cover all things pop-culture and media. I mainly focus on film and television, both in the Clemson community and on the big screen. My first ever article offered quite the controversy about everyone’s favorite HBO series “Euphoria” and I’ve recently published a review about a personal favorite, Matt Reeves’ “The Batman.” All my free time from watching and analyzing films for my classes is spent watching and analyzing films for the paper.
Outside of The Tiger, I am involved in Greek life on campus as a member of the Theta Lambda chapter of Alpha Chi Omega and have found some of my best friends through the organization. I’m also a frequenter at the McAlister Starbucks and a self-appointed chai latte expert.
I’m hoping to pursue a career in screenwriting after finishing up my four years here at Clemson, but my time at The Tiger has definitely shown me a possible career as a film critic. So, if I can’t beat ’em, I can always join ’em!
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me at The Tiger and all the binge-watching I get to excuse as research in the future!
