It feels like just yesterday that I was in middle school thinking about my future college life. Time really does fly and I cannot believe I have already completed my first semester of college!! It is also very convenient that I am what I like to call "dorming at home". Thankfully I don't have to pay for laundry, a meal plan, housing, plus I get home cooked meals and the best part is I get to still see my cats every day. I don't like to admit it to my parents but living at home is quite nice. I have always wanted to go to a college in California. I regularly used to tell myself that I would NEVER go to UW-Milwaukee because "it's not me". However, I realized that UWM is an amazing school and very underrated. I was also lucky to have one of my best friends Hailey with me every day. We were thrilled to know we could have lunch together every single day and have become even closer this past semester. I was very afraid that as a commuter I wouldn't make any friends. In the beginning it was difficult but getting involved in school activities helped a lot.
Although I commute to school I spend most of my time at the university. So far at UWM I have joined two organizations, the Student Association and the American Marketing Association (AMA). Like in high school I wanted to join many different clubs and organizations but realized quickly that college takes up a lot of time and being involved in two organizations was enough. That way I can dedicate more time towards them. Student Association has taught me how the student government at UWM works and how to be a leader. AMA has introduced me to some AMAzing and very special people and has given me some wonderful opportunities including being a part the AMA National Collegiate Conference in New Orleans coming up this March 2017. The friends I have made and the awesome learning opportunities I've had, have been very incredible. I would definitely recommend anyone going into college to join a club/organization, because you will make some awesome friends and learn a lot along the way. I am excited to see what the next few years brings me and what opportunities will arise. I have learned a lot this past semester and am looking forward to learning and making some awesome memories next semester.
