Fun. Short. Different. It didn’t end up being what I expected it to be, but it was a great experience overall.
It means I was able to put a lot of work into my classes and get a lot out of them.
All the time I was able to spend and hang out with my friends.
Manufacturing and Design. It was the first main major course I took, and it helped me fall in love with mechanical engineering. It was also really fun.
I’d like to shout out one of my friends, Amanda Meixner ’20. She’s helped me with a lot of stuff and has been close to me throughout pretty much everything I have been doing at school, and she’s been super supportive.
Being close to people, and having that tight group of friends in my major who were supportive while we were all going through the same things.
There were definitely a lot of academic challenges, some classes that were very difficult. If it were not for the people who were in my major and the people who were taking those classes with me, I would not have been able to get anywhere.
I hope that they’re all able to go out and do everything that they want to do, succeed, and be happy.
Don’t be afraid to try new things. If there’s something you’re interested in, just do it and don’t worry about what people are going to think of you.
This is your last year, so make it count. Spend as much time as you can with your friends, doing all of the things you like doing.
It made me more open and willing to take risks and talk to new people.
The entertainment field and theater meant a lot to me growing up, and they still do. I want to be able to bring that same kind of joy into people’s lives.
I learned a lot about who I am as a person and what I want out of life. I’m obviously a pretty different person from who I was when I came in. So, I think college helped me come into myself in a lot of ways.
