I can not believe I am almost done my first semester at CUA. What I can say is these past three months have been a rollercoaster for me and I know it has been a rollercoaster for you. August was an emotional month because we all were moving into a new place that we have never been before. Not having our parents by our side has been great , but also emotional. Everyone has always given us advice, so I thought why not give advice to my fellow classmates of the Class of 2020.
Favorite Experiences: My favorite experience at CUA so far has been the Seafood Fest and Jumpstart. I loved the Seafood Fest because I love seafood and everyone had a great time eating and getting to know each other.My second favorite experience has been working for Jumpstart. I love my Jumpstart team and I love teaching my Preschool kiddos every Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Here are 10 pieces of advice for my fellow classmates:
1. Do not stress out too much
2. Keep up with your assignments and go to class
3. Make sure to apply for the FAFSA and Scholarships
Note: The FAFSA opened up on October 1st
4. Get to know new people
5. Make sure to get to know your professor
6. Join clubs and organizations
7. Explore D.C… there are a lot of events and food places to go to.
8. Sign Up for Service Trips- CUA is all about service and making a difference in the world
9. Make sure to call back home and thank your parents/ guardian for everything.
10. Don’t forget to have fun!
