Describe your college experience

My transition to college was pretty seamless because a lot of people from my high school ended up going to Florida State as well, so I felt very at home. It was a pretty big change going from living with my family to living with friends, as I am much more of a family-oriented person, but as long as you find hobbies of your own, stay in touch with your family, and view the living situation as temporary, you will be okay. I have made so many great memories with my friends that I wouldn't trade for anything, and don't regret my decision of moving up here whatsoever.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been Reasoning and Critical Thinking with Professor Michael Bishop. Not only was the class itself very informative, but Professor Bishop made the class one to look forward to with his funny demeanor.

Career goals

After graduation I wish to attend Stetson Law School in Gulfport, FL, with aspirations to become a medical malpractice attorney soon after.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night would be going to the beach to watch the sunset after a long day of being on the boat, and coming home to a platter of sushi.

High school or secondary school

St. Petersburg High School, St. Petersburg, FL Tallahassee Community College, Tallahassee, FL

Previous college

I transferred to Florida State University from Tallahassee Community College. The transfer itself was pretty seamless, aside from one advisor that misled me in my enrollment in courses. A lot of people view transferring from TCC as such a negative thing, but I loved my time there.
