Erica Bellman
Erica Bellman is a senior Literature major at CMC. When she isn’t chilling with her homeboys James Joyce and T.S. Eliot, Erica enjoys writing for the Forum, eating spicy food and going on adventures. She likes to write about things that people under-appreciate, like her home state of New Jersey. When Erica grows up she hopes to be an eccentric ex-pat novelist, preferably living in a European city.

Stags, It’s Time to Get Your Om On
