Describe your college experience

When I first moved in to my dorm, I felt overwhelmed and severely anxious about this new stage in my life, but I quickly realized that this was where I was meant to be and I’m so glad I found my community here.

Tip for future students

I wish I had better time management skills and stuck to strict schedules because I would’ve been able to balance myself and my classes a lot better than I did that first semester.

Favorite class

My favorite class was Chemistry 101 because it taught me early on that sometimes in college you really have to fend for yourself and it had prepared for what is to come.

Career goals

I hope to become a Plant Manager at a manufacturing company and use the skills I learned in college to help improve production.

Ideal way to spend a free night

The best way to spend a free night is with my friends in my dorm room or going out and catching a local show in downtown Raleigh.
