Describe your college experience
My transition into college has been a big adjustment, but it's also been exciting. I've had to become more independent by managing my own schedule, balancing classes and responsibilities. I've enjoyed meeting new people on campus, and the experience has helped me grow both personally and academically.
Tip for future students
Some tips for future students would be to not be afraid to ask questions or seek help from your professors and classmates. Get involved in clubs or campus activities to meet new people and make the most of your college experience. Remember to take care of yourself by eating well and getting proper rest.
Favorite class
Exploring the Humanities is my favorite class so far because I’ve only had two classes, but it has already been the one I enjoy most. It is an in-person class that teaches the “why” behind many human activities. For example, it shows how art, literature, and philosophy reflect the values of different societies, and I find that interesting.
Career goals
After obtaining my bachelors in Accounting and Finance, I hope to secure a stable job that will help me support my future family. I also hope to travel the world to expand my worldview and perspective on life.
Ideal way to spend a free night
An ideal free night for me would be spent enjoying my favorite hobbies, whether that means exploring campus, grabbing coffee with friends, or working out.
