Describe your college experience

Honestly it has been good for me, I have had some difficulty with forming a schedule​/​routine, making friends, and the academic rigor. But overtime it has gotten better.

Tip for future students

I would recommend getting a planner, whether physical or digital. Taking down everything you will do for the day including classes and time to study. I would recommend visiting office hours when necessary and working with others on assignments​/​studying if permitted by the professor. Be active, find some form of physical activity, improves mental health and helps blow of steam. Lastly make new friends, talk to people, go out for food, do all the fun things.

Favorite class

So far my favorite class has been Psychology because it has given me a new perspective on health and medicine in general. I’ve been so focused on outward concerns that I haven’t really considered the mental obstacles.

Career goals

I plan on going to Medical School and becoming an OBGYN.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I would go out to my favorite pho restaurant either with a friend or by myself, dine in the restaurant. I would also walk​/​drive around the area before heading back to my dorm to unwind.

High school or secondary school
