Describe your college experience

There have definitely been a lot of ups and downs and a lot of worrying that I made the wrong choice going to a big college straight out of high school and not going to the community college first, but I can now say without a doubt this is one of the best decisions that I have ever made.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been my biological science 160 class about evolution and ecology! My professor is really nice and great to have and the course is about a lot of interesting things about the evolution of all things not just humans, which I find really interesting.

Career goals

I plan on going into the medical field hoping to be an orthopedic surgeon!

Ideal way to spend a free night

If its a weekday then I try and get some friends together to either go to one of the dining halls that we have here to hang out and eat dinner or I'll go to the gym with my roommate. On the weekends I'll either go home to visit family or will go out to DC or just around campus with my friends or partner.
