Describe your college experience
My transition to college was nerve-racking, but exciting. I acknowledge my struggles, but it was amazing immersing myself in that new environment. I genuinely love the college experience and believe that everyone can find a place of their campus. I got connected with great teams, friends, and professional staff.
Tip for future students
Be yourself, do research into the colleges you apply to (i.e graduation and Gen Ed requirements, list of student organizations, student services/facilities, etc), and get connected early. Every other incoming freshman doesn't know where to start, so put yourself and your skills and interests out there!
Favorite class
Biology; the first 4 basic classes of it! They were so fun and I learned the foundations of biological life and its processes through diagrams, etc.
Career goals
To get a stable, fulfilling job. I want to create a comfortable life for myself and my family. My secondary concern would be to maintain great, lasting frreindships/relationships, that I'd hopefully be creating during college
Ideal way to spend a free night
Reading a great book, spending time with friends, creating art, and judging popular movies to see if they live up to the hype
High school or secondary school
Heritage High School
Favorite spot on campus
The various study spots by our lecture halls. They're all unique and allow me to study and get stuff done while being surrounded by the hustle and bustle of college life.
Meeting point
Triton Fountain on the University of California San Diego campus
