definitely use the shortcuts to get up to the performing arts building if need be! The steps can get super tiring, especially on a Monday morning :)
My favorite spot on campus is probably the Commons. I really like how it is a shared meeting space for so many students, it's a great place to socialize, and the food choices are my favorite.
Everywhere you go on campus, everybody is friendly. People will stop to talk to you, everybody is supportive of one another, and overall, the vibes as you go around is calm and inviting.
I feel as though I have become super independent, just by being on my own, alone. Furthermore, I have taken on so many commitments and all of them together has really allowed me to reach out of my comfort zone.
