Describe your college experience
It was a rough journey but I am still here. I had to move in alone, eat alone, and study alone. Yet through this journey, I found friends, family, and myself. It is a rough yet refreshing and exciting place.
Tip for future students
1. Do NOT limit yourself. 2. Live for you, not your friends. 3. Explore, Fail, Repeat.
Favorite class
SOC113Q: Asian Americans at the Margins allow me to explore the intersectionality of asians in America and how we move, live, and embody our culture in a land far away from what we called home.
Career goals
Hopefully a scientist researching in a clinical background.
Ideal way to spend a free night
No homework notification, milktea and ramen, and my favorite show. All on my bed.
