Hey! My name is Janae, and I am a freshman here at SDSU. I am from Northern California and am double majoring in Sociology and Psychology. I live in the dorms and know my way around the whole campus, and can give broad and personal insights on what it's like being a student here!

Describe your college experience

I have changed a lot as a person already since coming to this school, but only in good ways! There were many challenges to overcome such as having roommates for the first time and adjusting to college workload, but now I am very cemented in my lifestyle here and am super happy!

Tip for future students

Going into freshman year, your first priority should be finding balance between experiencing everything that college has to offer and getting burnt out. My best advice truly is to say yes to everything and to really just put yourself out there! All while not pushing yourself too hard.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been Oceans 100 because although never thought I was good at science, this class made learning so engaging and I was genuinely interested in the material throughout the semester! Now when I go to the beach, which I always do, I know so much more about it!

Career goals

After college I hope to work in some major city in public service and community leading, maybe through a non-governmental agency of some sort. I just want to help people in urban landscapes improve their lives on a big scale somehow!

Ideal way to spend a free night

I am a very adventurous person and love exploring the city during the weekends, but after a long week of classes, I love journaling about what's been going on in my life while listening to my favorite music.
