Describe your college experience
To be honest, college life is definitely harsh to me at the very beginning. A completely new environment with new people where everything seems to be pushing me to step out of my comfort zone. However, I enjoy this specific stage of growth. I got to face my weaknesses and fix them, participate in all sorts of activities that eventually led me to think my college experience as amazing.
Tip for future students
Definitely don't hesitate to connect with people. The precious thing about college is not about the knowledge you can learn but the people you will meet and the ideas and possibilities this platform provides you. So no doubt effectively utilize these resources and push against your potential!
Favorite class
My favorite class is COMM 206 which I took last semester. It discusses communication through culture and how the two has evolved and intertwined during this process. I love this class because it allows me to view this world with diverse perspectives, valuing the importance of communication and how it has influenced this world in such a significant way.
Career goals
I never wanted to set a specific goal for my future since I believe future always holds countless opportunities. However, I do wish to do something that allows me to utilize communication, marketing, and law as tools to solve people or organizations' problems.
Ideal way to spend a free night
I would want to go to clubs with my friends and enjoy the night not thinking nor worrying about anything.
