Freshman Year: GO PACK!
My time here at NC State has been adventurous to say the least. I’ve made friends, lost some and gained sisters, (thanks to sorority life). I’ve moved more times in the past 4 years than I had before in my whole entire life. I’ve learned and matured more than I could have ever imagined. And most importantly, I’ve gained memories I’ll never forget.
Whenever I introduce myself to people and I tell them where I’m from they always ask “Why did you come here?” The answer is that I wanted to go to a school with a fashion program but at a “regular university” and NC State just happened to be one of the few schools that provided me with that opportunity. While that answer is true, it’s not the whole truth. I wanted the best college experience I could ever have. I have to say that I was very lucky because I got everything that I ever wanted. I was accepted to my top school, my dream major, and I was able to afford it thanks to a great financial aid package provided by NC State.
Senior Year: Office time with Brittney!
When I graduated from high school I was prepared to never look back. I was finally able to leave home, live semi-independently and spread my wings. Now, as I approach college graduation I can’t help but look back and reflect on all of the experiences I’ve had, even the ones I didn’t have, and the decisions I’ve made. This has definitely been one of the very best years. My friendship with Brittney and the amazing sisterhood I’ve gained through Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated are indispensable. I can’t even imagine going forward without these people in my life and it’s amazing that without NC State I would have never met any of them!
I still haven’t quite wrapped my mind around the fact that I am leaving NC State, the place that has become my second home. As I prepare to leave; my advice to all future and current members of the Wolfpack is to make every year your best year. Time really does fly by as fast as everyone says, so enjoy every last one of your college years at one of the best universities in the world. Go Pack!
