Senior Interviews

I first interviewed an RA in my building named Richie. He said you never really know what to expect going to to college obviously, but for the most part he thinks that he has learned more about himself than he had expected. You come to college and expect things to change but things that happen aren't what you plan and he has tried to embrace things as they came. He said his Business Major never changed. He thinks that when you let things develop you learn to accept what has happened even if they weren't the most admired moments in his life. He is definitely not happy with every decision he has made but he is happy with the way he has grown and what he has learned from everything that has happened. He said he wouldn't change anything because he might not have learned the lessons that turned him into who he is today. Regarding freshman he says one of the most important things is to actively try to find yourself and to pursue what you want to do and who you want to be. When you find that out everything else is secondary. Just find what you are good at and embrace it.

My Second interview was with one of my co workers in the student union named Felix. He says that in College the teachers teach you completely different than they do in high school because they expect you to learn on your own more. College is also much more diverse and of course the number of people can be overwhelming at times. When asked what he would do differently he said he would have taken things more seriously from the start of school instead of just going out and having fun all of the time. He says that joining a fraternity definitely helped him because he had much more resources and they even helped him find his first two jobs. Networking is key he says. He changed his major from international business to graphic design with another major in photography because he felt they complimented each other. His advice for freshman is to enjoy college while focusing on studies. Learn as much as you can while you are here and make the most of everything you're paying for. Money shouldn't have to be an issue because once you leave and go out into the real world your education will benefit you financially.
