What activities or hobbies do you enjoy<br />
doing outside of school?<br />
If I’m not studying or volunteering, I am<br />
definitely at the gym. I do Olympic lifting<br />
through the UNF Weightlifting club, and I<br />
love it. Since moving to Jacksonville, lifting is<br />
the one thing that’s kept me grounded and<br />
helped take some of the stress off school. I<br />
can go there and just have fun and challenge<br />
myself in a way that’s not academic. I also lift<br />
with the kindest, funniest people ever, so<br />
that’s a plus.<br />
What has been most challenging to you<br />
since beginning your program here at<br />
UNF?<br />
Managing my stress. I want to do everything<br />
perfectly all the time and I end up<br />
overthinking and freaking out. I’ve found it’s<br />
gotten easier, though, to just chill out and<br />
trust myself. I have a lot of support from the<br />
people around me as well, so I just lean on<br />
them when I need some extra help.<br />
What advice would you give to incoming<br />
students entering the UNF?<br />
Try everything! Take every opportunity. Join<br />
every club, go to every meeting, talk to every<br />
person and professor! College is such a<br />
unique setting where we just have so many<br />
different opportunities available to us, and<br />
I’ve found that getting out of my comfort<br />
zone and taking advantage of these things<br />
has helped me tremendously. You’ll find the<br />
best friends and mentors if you just reach out<br />
and try different things.<br />
