U Mich '28

I’m a Sophomore at the University of Michigan. I’m excited to explore different courses and determine what fields really catch my interest. Right now, I’m open to many possibilities and looking forward to the chance to learn and grow academically, while also meeting new people and making connections that will shape my path in college and beyond.

Outside of class, I’m passionate about staying active and finding time to enjoy life beyond the books. Exercise is a big part of my routine, and I like trying out new workouts and sports whenever I can. I’m also a huge fan of travel and love exploring new places and cultures; there’s something about stepping into a new environment that makes everything feel fresh and exciting. Even if it’s just a hidden spot around town or a new city, I’m always up for an adventure.

When I’m not studying or exploring, I usually unwind by watching YouTube, scrolling through social media, or finding new restaurants to try. I’m a bit of a foodie, so I enjoy seeking out different cuisines and hidden gems with friends. As I navigate my first year here, I’m looking forward to seeing where these experiences take me and learning more about myself along the way.
