Joining the fencing team! I've made a lot of close friends through it and it has helped me be more involved with both the school and meeting my peers.
Being independent in college has really helped me grow into becoming my own person. The independence of becoming more responsible for myself makes me feel like I can stand on my own two-feet easier.
The Linehan program and the opportunities it provided piqued my interest. It also really helped my tuition cost, which made UMBC my final choice. I also have interest in studying outside of my animation major, and UMBC could provide classes outside of art that I could take.
Long line at Starbucks/Chic-fil-a and you have time? Hang out at one of the tables to catch up on schoolwork or other stuff. That way, waiting for the lines to get shorter won't feel as long!
