Describe your college experience

My college experience has been filled with ups and downs but overall has managed allowed me manage my social and academic life. The student at A&M have been more than provided a welcoming experience and has allowed me to create incredible memories.

Tip for future students

One thing you will hear a lot and I definitely overlooked is the shift from high school to college. Coming from a high school that prepared me for college success, I still found myself with a rude awakening as to how to manage studying, time management, and the pressure of all my classes. My tip is to organize to the fullest in order to see the best results and DON’T procrastinate!

Favorite class

My favorite class has been my major classes. I came in not really sure if I liked my major but ended up liking it more than I expected because of my classes.

Career goals

I am not entirely sure but my goal is to help others. I am currently considering International lawyer and international economist.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My favorite way to spend a night has definitely been staying in my dorm and watching a movie or maybe just sleeping. Whenever you have free time it’s best to do something you hardly ever have time for.
