Favorite Class or Professor and Why

Greek Mythology with Dr. Phin. This was my favorite class because as you read myths you'll begin to realize that many tropes/ plot structures have their origins in myths.

I chose UMBC because...

UMBC is a perfect size and has a real sense of community in that the people at UMBC are fun, friendly, and driven to succeed.

My UMBC hack is...

in the library, there's an Einstein Bagels which is open every day of the week and weekend. If you're a morning person, you can use your meal plan to get a bagel and coffee and then study at the nearby tables.

During my first semester, I wish I would have known...

there are a lot of resources on campus meant to help students succeed. The writing center, tutoring center, and peer study groups all help students to succeed, and I wish I had used these resources in my first semester.

I'm passionate about...

Going to the gym Taekwondo Photography Video Games
