Favorite Time at SCSU
I loved going to PB&J Thursdays with my friends. I also enjoyed being able to create friends that enjoy the same interests in our field.
What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I am going to miss all the fun opportunities that where provided. The bingo, the events, the food trucks, and so much more! I am also going to miss the great professors that always showed pride in how they taught. It really inspired me.
Advice to Incoming Students
I believe you should always put in 100 percent of effort. This degree changes your life. Want it, and own it. Work hard, stay positive, and know challenges will arise. Be patient, be yourself, and make friends. You can do anything you put your mind too!

What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I’m definitely going to miss the college lifestyle of living on campus and going out every weekend. I’m looking forward to never doing a discussion board or a paper ever again.
Advice to Incoming Students
Take one step at a time and enjoy the process, I felt like I graduated highschool yesterday.

I am most looking forward to returning in the fall for graduate school!
Advice to Incoming Students
Get involved! The best way to meet new people and make friends is by joining and attending club meetings. You are only here for four years, so make the most of it!
