Favorite Spot on Campus
My favorite spot on campus is the third floor lobby area of the Center of the Arts. I love it there because there are mirrors and glass hanging in front of the windows so all throughout the day there are rainbows on the floors and walls. It is so beautiful to just sit there and do work! (:
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
My favorite local restaurant is Gino's! On Tuesdays they give a student discount if you show your OneCard, so I go more often than I'd like to admit.
My favorite TU event, experience or tradition is...
My favorite TU event is the football games! I may be biased since I was in the TU Marching Band for 3 years, but I love the football games. The energy is unmatchable, and it is always such a great time!
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! (:
