My college experience unlocked my personality and molded me into the person I am today. College allowed me to explore options and opportunities and to gain a vast array of experiences. I discovered myself during the four years I spent in college. It was the first time I had lived away from my parents. During college, I was forced to manage my own time make my own decisions. It was a time to learn how to be independent with the security of my parent's support on which to lean. The increased independence allowed me to form my own opinions and decide what I wanted to do in life. As an example of my evolution, I completely changed my major from journalism to biology within the four short years of college. College was a learning experience, both academically and personally.

My college experience has taught me how to create my own life and how to direct that life towards the future that I want. It has taught me how to adapt, grow, and balance all the responsibilities and joys that life has to offer. College has helped me figure out who I am, what I want to cultivate within myself, and what I want to find within the world. Without college, I never would have had the oportunity to study abroad, and I think looking at life from many different cultural and even geographical perspectives is an extremely valuable experience that I will be able to carry with me for the rest of my life. College also helped me make some of the best friends I've ever had. Through UGA I've been able to see and feel more joyous freedom than I ever thought imaginable. People say education is liberating, and I can definitely attest to that after my short time at UGA.

My college experience so far at UGA has been so incredible. I have been challenged academically and gotten close with several of my professors, partially because of the small class sizes I've been granted through the Honors Program. I have also become involved in several campus ministries and have been blessed with a group of friends who are the greatest support system I could have asked for. I have gained wonderful mentors such as my RA, one of my TAs, several older students and my course adviser. Aside from reinforcing study habits from high school, I am also learning to apply what I learn in my classes outside of the classroom. Lastly, being with an all new group of people has allowed me to rediscover how much I love being around people, whereas in high school I felt constrained by the people I spent my time with from day to day. I have made huge personal decisions such as changing my major to Public Relations, and discovered much more about myself. Furthering my education is my main goal in college, but securing a great group of friends and having responsible fun is the greatest bonus college has offered.

My college experience has given me the opportunity to care for others. The medical field has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl and that dream is finally coming true. The value behind my education comes in the form of a rewarding career and stable future for my family and I. This degree will not only allow me to care for others and fufill a childhood dream, but it also provides a pathway for a career in a field guaranteed to be here in the future. With a shortage of nurses, I feel I would be a huge asset to the medical community.

In college, I have obtained a wealth of information that I would not have otherwise had knowledge of. In addition, there have been numerous social experiences and life experiences that I would not have been exposed to. Overall, I have become more appreciative of the things I hold valuable in my life, by being exposed to a variety of different backgrounds.

I have met so many amazing people in my field of study. The journalism school is truly incredible; our professors do their best to bring in as many professionals as possible. As far as my social life goes, I've never been at a loss for things to do. Even though I am one of the few people at the school who does not drink, I can always find a movie that's playing or a play that is being performed on or near campus. I've learned so much about myself since attending the University, and I honestly think that the size and diversity of students has helped me do that. I feel incredibly prepared for the "real world," both professionally and socially.

I have had many valuable experiences while attending the University of Georgia. The most important is probably time management. I am a full time pre-med student, part time employee, and I volunteer multiple times each week in the Athens community. I am a student employee at the central dining hall on campus, so I help to feed thousands of hungry dawgs daily. Despite all of my responsibilities I have while attending school, I still make sure to have fun. I root for the Dawgs every Saturday during football season, go to parties, and "Snellebrate!" "Snellebrating" is a late night run to the 24 hour dining hall that serves breakfast beginning at midnight. Attending school at the University of Georgia has prepared me for the responsibilities I will encounter in my career after I graduate. Even though I have had to work incredibly hard to meet my goals, I know I will look back on my college days and smile because I have tried to make the most of every opportunity and have a social life too.

I have gotten great friends, memories, and experiences.
