Describe your college experience

As an out of state student - I am from Pennsylvania - it was a dificult transition in both a social and environmental aspect! The warm weathers and long walks are not something I was used to, but with all of the nice and welcoming student all aorund campus, this transition was completely doable and enjoyable! The profesors all ensure that you will find success in their class as well as ensuring you understand their expectations and rules for their class! The University of Georgia has so much to offer in all different aspects, its almost impossible to find your own home here on campus!

Tip for future students

All students should go to all freshman welcoming events and introduce yourself to the person next to you! The same process should go in your classes! Simply introduce yourself and remember that everyone around you is going through the exact same experience as you! It is okay to be scared and stressed, just be yourself and try new things!

Favorite class

I enjoy American Government the most, since I am able to dive into the world around us. Slowly, I am building my understanding of not only our society, but economy and environemnt!

Career goals

In my future, I hope to be a crimincal and civil justice lawyer! A future in law and justice has always called my name.

Ideal way to spend a free night

To ensure that I am going through the beginning of my college life right, I prioritze my classes and rest! Once that is all done, unwinding with my friends, baking in the community kitchen or simply watching a movie, is my ideal night!
