Describe your college experience

It has been amazing! It was hard being away from home at first, but I've met so many amazing people that I love and click with and I'm so excited to live with all of them next year. Its also really fun getting to take classes that you're interested in, and it makes the actual school part a lot better than high school. UVA is so beautiful and there is so much to do!

Tip for future students

Don't be afraid to go talk to everyone in your hall - that's how I made a lot of my friends! Also, join clubs that seem interesting to you, and try new things! And maybe don't loft your bed all the way... its been a struggle.

Favorite class

Reimagining the News - the professor was amazing and we had such cool guest speakers - including the CEO of The Onion! I learned a lot about the future of journalism and the innovation in the news industry right now.

Career goals

I want to work in the entertainment industry and​/​or go into journalism.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love either going out with my friends or making food and having a movie night together!
