What is your favorite part about MSU’s campus? My favorite part of MSU’s campus would be the amount of campus resources available to help students’ academic success and the great people.
What is your most effective method of studying? My most effective method of studying is rephrasing things into easier forms to remember them, as well as studying about a week in advance.
What are your plans post-graduation? My plans after college consist of getting into medical school to study reconstructive plastic surgery.
Most important thing you’ve learned about college so far? The most important thing I’ve learned about college so far this semester is that a minor setback or failure is a small bump on the road to success. Keep working and stay focused and everything will work out with the proper dedication.
Which celebrity do you look up to and why? I do not look up to any celebrities in particular because I know everything they have attained, I am capable of as well. I have the same number of hours in a day as any celebrity does.
What does your daily routine consist of? My daily routine consists of waking up to get ready or do some homework before class in the morning, going to class until about 4 p.m., coming back to my dorm and having dinner with my roommate, relaxing for about an hour before starting homework or studying, then relaxing a bit more before bed, usually anytime from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Who has left the biggest impact on you and how? My mother has left the biggest impact on me. She influences just about everything I do in my life with the wisdom and knowledge she has bestowed upon me.
