HC: What’s some advice you would give other freshman here at stout?
SL: Get involved with something on campus, whether it’s a club, sport, or job. You’ll meet tons of incredible people, and it gives you something to focus on besides school work.
HC: Do you have plans for spring break? If so, where?
SL: I’ll be hanging out in my hometown, and I’m so excited to get to spend some time with my family! We’re celebrating my brother’s 18th birthday and visiting my grandparents and cousins in Illinois.
