Describe your college experience
College is a new world of opportunity. With such increased freedom I gained so much responsibility, but with that comes the ability to dedicate my time to so many different things based on what I found most important. Every day is busy, but it's because my time is packed with meeting new people, making new memories, and building a great future for myself.
Tip for future students
Always take opportunities to expand your network and meet new people. Especially in the first week of school and classes, it's easiest when everyone is trying to make friends, make sure to learn names and get people's contact to stay connected. Join groups, be more extroverted, go to events that you 're not sure if you really want to go to, and talk to professors and advisors one-on-one when you can. There are opportunities and things to know that you can instantly gain as an advantage in your classes and future if you just ask and talk to people.
Favorite class
My favorite class so far was English 101, simply because the teacher was so great. A good professor can make a stressful class into a fun one.
Career goals
I hope to find a job that I enjoy and feel that I can quickly understand in order to be a competitive employee that establishes a position of leadership and high-proficiency output.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal night would be spending it with a big group of my friends, walking somewhere near campus for food, and then going back to someone's dorm and playing games with all your closest people at college.
