Why
did you decide to come to Rollins?
I
actually really didn't want to visit Rollins the summer before
my senior year when my mom and I made a road trip out of my
college visits, but my mom made me. I had never heard of Rollins
so I assumed it wouldn't be worth visiting. I couldn't have
been more wrong because as soon as we were on campus I knew
Rollins was where I wanted to spend the next four years. The
size, liberal education, and athletics were a perfect fit for
me, and the location was great too.
What's
your favorite Rollins memory?
Fox
Day! It had been so anticipated all year, so I almost couldn't
believe it when it was finally here. All of campus was awake
and filled with excitement by 6:30 am. The whole day was a much
needed break from the stress of classes and work.
What
makes you come alive on campus?
I
love being on a team…so much so that I am on two sports teams
at Rollins (cross country and crew). They keep me busy and involved,
and have been an instant way for me to meet new people and learn
new things. The competition involved also gives me motivation
to try harder and ensure that I am reaching my full potential.
Why
did you become a Peer Mentor?
I
was absolutely petrified of moving 1000 miles away from home
to a school where I didn't know anyone, so having peer mentors
really helped to show me that there was nothing to be afraid
of. I want to do the same for other students who are nervous
about such a big change.
What
most excites you about next year?
I
am very eager to begin next year with an entire year of experience
under my belt. I know what to expect out of the challenging
courses I am enrolled in and how to better manage my time and
stress.
What's
your advice to First-Year Students?
DON'T
WORRY ABOUT IT! Everyone is going to be in the exact same situation
as you when you all arrive at Rollins. And when you get here,
you will quickly discover that you had nothing to worry about
and that you are beginning the best and most exciting four years
of your life!
