CSULB has been my home for the past three years. I could not imagine being anywhere else. I have met the most amazing friends. When I first came to campus I dormed in Parkside J Building. Dorm life was an incredible experience. Being able to build a friendship with a random stranger and also create new friendships in a state I never had been too is incredible. Moving through the years I learned so much about what family and friends mean. Especially being so far away from my home and family in Illinois. Eventually I rushed a fraternity and met some of the greatest people I would come in contact with. Friendship, leadership, courage, and love are the most important lessons I learned from college.
When it came to choosing colleges, Long Beach was far from similar to all the others I had in mind. The toughest decision was whether or not I wanted to move 2.000 miles away from home. Would I be able to handle being away from family? Eventually I decided I needed to make that great leap.
The work I put in high school helped me get to CSULB. I was a part of many distinct organizations including athletics, theater, and honorary societies. I can tell every single person who feels that they cannot make it, you need to put in the work in order to see the outcome!
I honestly wish I knew. Currently I am an intern at a couple different locations, in Events Marketing and Public Relations. I am looking to find a position in one of those areas for a career. The plan is to stay out here for the rest of my life, but you cannot plan life. So we will see what happens!
