Debating America, which was a first-year seminar where we learned about the origins of political ideologies and how they affected American thought and policy. It was very interesting to learn why people believe certain ideologies!
The people. Everyone comes together to help one another out and it’s so great to see and experience. UMBC wouldn’t be so great without the students and staff that make it special.
STRiVE, which is a leadership retreat that people can go to during winter break. It was so great to meet new people who have different views about life than me. I was able to make new friends and allow myself to be vulnerable in able to learn more about myself. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
that there is more to college than just studying and I should allow myself to find opportunities. I used to stay in my room a lot either doing homework or watching Netflix. I wish I had known sooner that I would find my place on campus.
