Erich Welton
Hi, my name is Erich Joseph Welton. I am from Madison, Wisconsin. I am 21 years old and a senior here at the U of M. I am a BFC student focusing in Printmaking.
I took this class because I thought it would be fun to make some movies and further my knowledge in art. The first two years that I attended the U, I was in the pre-architecture program. Because I switched, I will have to stick around for a 5th year but I’m not too worried about it. I once heard a quote, “Leaving college in 4 years is like leaving a party at 11 o’clock.� I don’t know who said that but I completely agree. I have stayed up here every summer since my freshman year and have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I am also on the swim team here at the U and have been swimming since I was 5 years old. My mom coached me for the first 7 years that I swam. I mostly swim freestyle and butterfly. Most of my best friends come from swimming. As hard as it can be, I love swimming and wouldn’t have it any other way. In my free time, I like to disc golf and go wakeboarding. In high school, two of my friends and I would spend almost every day out on the lake. We got a boat, a Mastercraft X-2, when I was a sophomore in high school. I really miss my boat so much because now that I stay up here all summer I never really get a chance to ride behind it. Most of the time I just chill out with my roommates and friends listening to music, watching tv, and playing Wii. That’s me in a nutshell.
