In the midst of chaos, there is hope.

2020 has been a year of uncertainty, chaos, and racial turmoil. From riots in the streets of Minneapolis to riots and parties in Madison. The first few weeks of school have been a lot more difficult than I anticipated – the transition to online classes seemed easy at first. I thought, “oh, I get to …

Learning and Growing

I cannot believe we have already been in school for two months now! I’m truly astonished at how fast time has gone these past few months and it has finally put into perspective the whole, “time flies when you’re in college”, thing. Granted it’s only the first semester of my junior year, I have constantly …

And We’re Back!

Already a month into my junior year of college and, *knocks on wood*, it’s a breeze. Just a quick recap of my previous semester and summer – I had one of the best semesters yet last spring making the dean’s list along with declaring a major that I actually enjoy. I also studied abroad during …

Exciting, exciting.

I can’t believe the school year is just about over and soon I’ll be going into my junior year of college. That is ridiculous. It feels like I just started, and I was in my freshman year not that long ago! People were not lying when they said your four years in college really fly …

Back and Better!

As noticed, I have been a little MIA lately. I have been extremely determined to be proactive with my academics and opportunities this semester, in which I have been doing very well in both departments! I have been given the opportunity to be a Lead AVID Tutor this semester for a group of middle school …

To The New Ye… Semester!

As my first semester of my second year comes to an end, I keep thinking about what I could have done better and how I can have a better spring semester. I went into fall semester with an extremely positive attitude and I was very driven to do well in all my classes, but as …

Running Against The Clock

Maybe it’s just me, but time has just been flying this entire year. It was just Halloween, Thanksgiving is already over, and within less than a month I will have already completed the first semester of my second year. I have always been told that my college years would go by extremely fast, but I …

Second Round of Exams and Future Plans

As the second round of exams come to an end, I would say that I am truly proud of the amount of work that I have put in this semester compared to my first semester of college. I do realize that I still have a long way to go, but I do believe that I …

Summer’s Over: A New Year

I cannot believe summer and the first month of school has already come to an end! It seems like my first year of college only ended a couple of weeks ago. Before I jump right into school, here’s one word that sums up my summer: PRODUCTIVE! I had an internship with Boston Scientific working with …

First Year Comes To An End

As finals and the semester came to an end, I felt very accomplished this last semester. I felt nervous about my finals once I took them because they seemed a little too easy, almost like a trick, but overall, I did great and I was very pleased with my grades and my GPA! Looking back …
