Hello! My name is Amelie and I am a 20 year old junior at Mizzou! I enjoy hanging out with friends, exploring campus, and exploring different classes and educational opportunities. My college experience has been what I now know is normal, but no one prepared me for. I want to help other people learn about Mizzou and the amazing opportunities you can experience.

Describe your college experience
My college experience started out hard. I wasn't engaging with other people and when I lost a friendship in the first semester it became even harder and I htought about starting over somewhere new. However, I stayed and started putting myself out there and made friends and started experiencing the good side of college. I made friends traveled with clubs and met my boyfriend. I still switched majors and had rooming struggles but honestly it is a staple college struggle that I can pass on my knowledge about now.
Tip for future students
Be as extroverted as you possibly can, it will help in making friends immensely. Even if you normally aren't outgoing push yourself because it makes a difference. Join clubs and try everything, see what you really like you might be surprised. Go to all welcome week events, you will regret not going later trust me.
Favorite class
I really enjoyed my first sewing lab it showed me that I was on the right path, and I am excited to take my pattern making class so I can strengthen my knowledge and skills.
Career goals
I hope to create my own pattern line for costumes and run my own business.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Either at friends house or at home hanging out with friends or my boyfriend after a weekly sonic run.
