Hi freshman seminar classmates. My name is Neil Berthier. I am a second-semester freshman at Loyola. I was born here in New Orleans, but I moved up to Connecticut when I was six or seven. I am an only child and I love my parents and dog. I was really into skateboarding as a kid which then caused me to pick up a guitar. For some reason I just thought skateboarders played music, therefore I should too. After that, I fell in love with music and it became all I did. I love most every type of music and would like to think that there is good to all types of music (even commercial music). I didn’t really like mainstream sports as a kid. I hated teams and I liked doing my own thing for the most part. When I first moved to Connecticut, I really hated it and did not think anything was better than New Orleans. Over time this view changed drastically. I grew to love the northeast and found a really strong punk scene within the midst of the beautiful woods of New England and grew to love the northeast for everything that it had to offer. With all of this being said, I am a music industry studies major here at Loyola and am now currently in two very active bands. One band is called Donovan Wolfington and we are based out of New Orleans. We all met here and are best friends who like to write songs and play shows together. It’s really fun. The other band that I play lead guitar for is called MLK and we are based out of Connecticut. They still play shows while I am in New Orleans and we’re both putting out 7 inch records in the very near future. Now that I am at college I am slowly realizing every day that all I want to do is tour and make enough money to not have a boring job that I hate. I’m really excited to take this anime course and the rest of my classes this semester are pretty interesting as well. I still watch reruns of Dragonball Z.
