Name: Michal Gawlik

Area of Study: BA English

“I am a 3rd Year BA English student. If I’m not working on my dissertation or reading books, you can find me playing guitar, painting or playing Dungeons and Dragons - I have been called a one-man-band for the amount of hobbies I have. I enjoy watching all sorts of movies and series (Adventure Time is my absolute obsession), I knit and sew and additionally I work at the IT Helpdesk at UCC between my classes so you can always find me on campus. I came to Ireland two years ago at the beginning of college and had to find out a lot of things by myself, so now I would like to help others going through the same thing. Whether you are struggling with school, making friends, finding your place in Cork or at UCC or even if you’re not sure where a building is or how to connect to Eduroam - I’m your guy. I can offer you a hot drink, a snack and an attentive ear, so don’t hesitate to reach out!”
