Describe your college experience
At first it was definitely hard and I needed extra help to organize everything and get on my own two feet. However, when my second semester started I started to understand how to organize everything and it has been amazing since.
Tip for future students
Make sure to write everything down in a calendar. You think you will remember it but there is so much going on that you will forget. Also, put yourself out there.
Favorite class
ENGL 109
Career goals
I hope to go to Law School or get my Masters in psychotherapy.
