Considering that we completed a degree in the midst of a pandemic, we should all be proud of ourselves. Many of us have adapted to habits that we never thought would be possible. But acknowledging that we are a part of GenZ, this explains why we always find a way to handle our situations. It is a great privilege to be born in such an era of massive advancements that enables us to be so brilliant and talented physically and technologically. Don't let anybody tell you that you can't. You worked hard for this, and it is just the beginning of great things. The world is now in your hands let us continue to make it a place worth living. Congratulations to the class of '22! Wether your education journey ends here or its just the beginning continue to strive for the best.

Favorite Time at SCSU

My freshman year at SCSU was very exciting because as a new student at a college I looked forward to participating in as many events and meeting new people. It was even more fascinating because I lived on campus and during this time you get to explore who you really are, and as the years go by you are able to self-reflect and see how much you have grown. Recognizing these positive changes is very heartwarming.

What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?

I will definitely miss going to the events that our school hosts, the friendly teachers, and classmates, the openness of our campus, but most of all I will miss the UAP department that provided me with the chance of obtaining a degree in the first place. I'm looking forward to furthering my education and accomplishing more rewarding experiences in life.

Advice to Incoming Students

EVERY CLASS COUNTS; if you miss one, you lose money, a chance of getting an A, and a possibility of being dropped from that class. Get involved; network with your peers and teachers. You might need them to do a reference letter later. The years go by faster than you think. Most of all, give yourself a mental break sometimes! Work hard and celebrate when you get holidays, trust me, it is possible. I did it, you can too! You might lose friends but you'll always have your degree. Enjoy your college experience.
