Describe your college experience
College is what you make out of it. If you don’t want to be involved and usurp the opportunities the University provides, that’s fine. But if you want to be great, it also too provides an amazing support network.
Tip for future students
Go to new places and connect. You’ll never know who’ll you will bump into. Always smile and greet others.
Favorite class
Political history of the South by Dr. Mooney. It was never boring; the professor was very well-versed in her field and funny! As a student of American history, she made it easy to understand while understanding the nuances.
Career goals
Overall, I aspire to be a public intellectual—writing and speaking on various topics. But as of now, I am in the process of starting up my new business so hopefully, when I graduate, I’ll be the CEO of it.
Ideal way to spend a free night
1 apartment, 5 friends, and some games. Nothing more, nothing less.
High school or secondary school
