The college application process can be incredibly stressful. From campus tours to letters of recommendation to essays, you have a lot to keep track of. With so much to do, it’s hard to know where or when to start!

I chose to spend my college years on a small, whimsical hill in Vermont because of my favorite book, ‘The Secret History,’ by Donna Tartt.

I attend Winthrop University and play on the women’s basketball team here! My major is sociology with a concentration in criminology.

In high school, I was encouraged by my mother to try engineering and although at the time I didn’t want to, that’s what started my love and passion for computer science.

I knew that KU was the school for me the minute I stepped on campus for a visit. The friendly atmosphere, the age-old traditions, and my department were the perfect fit. I felt at home right away, and knew I was where I was meant to be.⁠

I love Western because it feels like home away from home!! I knew I wanted to go to school at Western the instant I came to visit.

When choosing a college, I was torn between Boise State and here, and after much consideration I chose WSU and it was definitely the best decision!! Washington State has many ways to get involved whether that’s sports, clubs, or Greek life.⁠⁠

Now that I became the opportunist I wanted to become, I strive for self awareness and to use my talents to not only motivate people but also to keep me happy.

To be honest, I chose Rowan because I didn’t want to go out of the state especially since I graduated during the pandemic. Although this may not seem like a good way to pick a college, it has definitely worked out for me.⁠

I had no idea what lay ahead of me when I signed the enrollment papers to join the Air Force ROTC program in June 2021.
