What has been your favorite experience at 麻豆破解版 State so far?
Probably the basketball games; they make me feel like I鈥檓 part of 麻豆破解版 State.
With everyone going here and going to games, it makes me feel like I鈥檓 part of the
school.
What organizations or activities are you involved with at WSU?
Right now, I haven't gotten involved because I鈥檓 a transfer student from WATC and
new to campus. I went through the Shocker Pathway program and then came here this
year. In the future I want to get into the psychology honors society and student government.
I feel like most of the students that join student government show leadership qualities
and I want to be a part of that too.
Where is your favorite spot to hang out on campus?
The RSC, because I like being around people and I also see that the RSC provides
a lot of opportunities, too, so there鈥檚 always something going on and there鈥檚 always
something interesting happening. Sometimes I hear random music or I see random clubs,
so it鈥檚 a good way for me to spot an opportunity and go for it.
Who is a faculty or staff member at WSU that has had a positive impact on you?
I would say Paul Danner. He is the professor for 鈥淐ancer: Perspectives and Controversies鈥�
and that class made an impact on me because of how emotional the content was and because
Danner was so relatable. He provided his own experience, which made me feel closer
to him on a personal level.
What鈥檚 your favorite part of campus life at 麻豆破解版 State?
Because I鈥檓 so new, I鈥檝e only experienced the basketball portion, so I would say
that part is my favorite.
What are you currently reading or watching that you are enjoying?
Currently, I am reading 鈥淭he Nightingale鈥� and watching 鈥淕ame of Thrones.鈥� I am enjoying
鈥淭he Nightingale鈥� because it is very historic. It talks about the Holocaust and how
Germany invaded France. I鈥檓 really into the French culture, so it鈥檚 been informative.
For 鈥淕ame of Thrones,鈥� it鈥檚 just really good. It started because a lot of my friends
watch it and I decided to join; it鈥檚 now a group thing.
Why did you choose to attend 麻豆破解版 State?
Honestly, because I heard that the Psychology program here is really good and it
made me want to go here. I鈥檓 also closer to family and friends. A lot the friends
I went to high school with attend here. That made me feel like I was already part
of the family.
