On a random day, you’ll most likely find me …
Hiding in an empty classroom in the Center for Liberal Arts doing homework.
What advice would you give to an incoming new student?
My advice to incoming students is to focus on time management skills and focus on yourself! College is hard, and it's a period of life with a lot of growth- cognitively, physically, academically, etc. Time management will be your best friend when it comes to juggling your classes, sports/clubs/organizations, personal time, and other things. Having a schedule will help you SO much! Focus on yourself too, if you're doing unwell, you can't expect to do well in other things! Listen to your mind and body, build that foundation, and you're sure to grow! (:
Favorite Class/Professor at TU
My favorite professor at TU is Michael Elliott of the Sociology department. He is one of the most caring professors, and so passionate about what he teaches. I have taken 4 courses with him, and always fight for a spot in any course he teaches.
After graduation I want to …
be successful! Being successful to me isn't having loads of money or a nice car, but to be happy with the career I've chosen and loving going to work! I want to love my job, and have it not feel like a chore (:
