Student Blog: Deciding on a School
by Student Blogger: Olivia Mathis - February 26, 2024


For most of my high school career, I thought I wanted to attend a four-year university, but I hadn’t considered why I wanted to take that path. When I stepped back and thought about what I truly wanted, none of those expectations ultimately impacted my decision at all. I knew I wanted to be in New York City, but other than that, I just wanted to get the best training I possibly could, 4-year school or not.

Student Blog: Maintaining Discipline
by Student Blogger: Olivia Mathis - January 31, 2024


I admire the fact that IAMT is untraditional. For instance, because nothing is formally graded, it motivates students to work hard, for no reason other than personal drive. It is one thing to be disciplined enough to get an A in a class, but it is another to learn how to push yourself when there is no immediate gratification for your efforts.

This semester is dissimilar from any other I’ve had, because as I’m writing about my back-to-school experiences, I’m currently in New Jersey in The Conjuring, playing Cindy Perron with RWS Entertainment. I found out that I would be leaving school to do this job at the beginning of September. As soon as I accepted the offer I quickly switched into thinking about how I would tie up as many loose ends at school as possible.
