The Home Stretch!
In the beginning of the year, I never thought the moment would come when I could honestly say, "just one more midterm." This semester has flown by, and if it weren't for the snow, it might actually feel like spring!
I've been keeping busy with lacrosse and the student organization I am on. The women's lacrosse team here is doing phenomenal this year. We are ranked number 21 in our division (which is amazing since we sat in the hundreds just 2 years ago). Being a rookie this year is pretty fun! I've met a lot of great girls that push me to get better. Not to mention my coach, Jan, is awesome!
I am the marketing chair for the Business Association of Multicultural Students (BAM). This student organization is based in the Carlson School of Management, but we have many members from other colleges who are just interested in different aspects of business. I've had such a great experience learning the ins and outs of the business world from other business students and corporate recruiters.
With all my activities (including work), I've done a pretty good job staying on top of my homework. If anything, being so busy has brought me great time management skills. The little time I have to study is spent completely focused with no distractions. I feel really fortunate to have gone through all this my first year of school because I feel I can use this skill for the rest of college and beyond!
