Describe your college experience

I have absolutely loved my college experience so far. Coming into school, I was worried about how I would do with the transition to dorm life and the academics, but college has proved to be a wonderful experience. I love getting to live with all of my friends and constantly feeling like I have something to do.

Tip for future students

My advice to future students would be to not stress about all of the little things before heading into school. There are going to be so many days in the beginning of the year when you will feel lost or overwhelmed and that is completely fine. It is important to embrace that feeling of change and understand that every other freshman is feeling the exact same way. Also, make sure to look at your professors on eagle evaluation or rate my professor before taking them :)

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been Courage to Know. It is a freshman elective class that gives students the ability to engage in important questions in a small class setting. It is a great way to meet new people coming into the school year.

Career goals

I am not completely sure what I want to do after college but I am thinking about heading into the world of biotech or pharmaceuticals.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is finishing all of my work early and heading to the plex to workout and unwind in the sauna. I would then get a nice dinner with my friends and head to bed early.

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is Bapst Library. It is such a quiet and beautiful place to lock in and get work done. I also love the res by lower campus as it is the perfect place to clear my head on an afternoon walk.
