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.

Ideal way to spend a free night

During my free nights I usually like to read or play video games.
