What is one thing you wish someone had told you before your first semester at Nebraska?

I wish someone had told me to be more spontaneous and take more opportunities. Stepping outside of your comfort zone isn't as scary as you think!

 

What is your go-to way to reset during a stressful week?

I love spending time by myself whether it be getting coffee, shopping, or just relaxing!

 

What is one small habit that helps you stay on track?

Something that helps me stay on track is getting ahead of things early and giving myself time to plan/think through things! 

 

Where is your favorite place on campus to spend time and why?

I love spending time in both sides of the library. There are so many great places to study or take a break, and I always find myself discovering new little nooks! 

 

What is one thing people are surprised to learn about you?

People are always surprised to learn I'm a bit of a workaholic! I currently have four jobs and babysit or dogsit pretty regularly.
