Describe your college experience

I thought that the transition went very smoothly although there was definitely some things that I wish I knew before coming to college. There’s a lot of unexpected necessities and things that are not necessary but commonly mistaken to be.

Tip for future students

Try your best to build a good sleep schedule, routine is everything. You have so much time, use it. Do not bring too much stuff, you don’t need as much as you think. Keep up with your laundry, it catches up fast.

Favorite class

My favorite class was Macroeconomics so far. The class was very interesting and learning just how much economics can apply to our everyday lives was enlightening.

Career goals

In an ideal world I hope to work as an investment banking analyst in New York and work my way up for a few years then eventually transition into private equity and wealth management with hopes of one day running a hedge fund.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Hanging out with friends. There is so much to do in State College and the place is way bigger with way more opportunity than most people realize.

High school or secondary school
