Looking Back
What has been your favorite Bentley memory so far?: It was a dinner at a friend’s house and we all contributed by cooking different foods. We spent time with really close friends and brand new friends that we made that semester. I got to meet some family members of my friends. We listened to music and danced and had a good time.
What do you wish you could have known before coming to Bentley?: That I wouldn’t be as comfortable with the workload as I thought I would have been. Coming into Bentley, I seemed to struggle a little more than others and still not get the results that I wanted. Now, I try to help freshmen and mentor them on things to do in order to stay ahead.
