CGL 145: Race and Discrimination in America

If I could suggest one class that every incoming college student should take it would be a class such as this one- Race and Discrimination in America. Every single day people are surrounded, and even responsible for discrimination that they are not aware of. This class opened my eyes to what America has been and what it continues to be. This was easily the most influential class I have taken since coming to Central Michigan.

CMU: 1/4

They say college is the best years of your life, and I 100% agree. I am just finishing up my freshman year at Central Michigan University. It is so hard to believe that a whole school year has already gone by so quickly, I am SO not ready to leave. The impact that the people I have met at Central have had on my life in the past 9 months is unlike any other friendships I have made before and I feel so blessed to be able to return here, my second home, at the end of summer. Moving out and living on my own has taught me so many valuable life lessons; here are the most important things I have learned in the last 32 weeks at CMU.

WELCOME TO THE FAM LIL MENTEE

It’s hard to believe that it has already been a year since my mentor Sadie showed up at my high school on May 2, 2017 with a big sign welcoming me to our LAS family and to CMU. Freshman year has passed in the blink of an eye but I cannot wait to have a mentee of my own to bond with over this next year.

Grad Ball LEAD Team

Culture and Leadership: LDR 200 Application Reflection

With the LAS Scholarship, first semester of college you take LDR 100 and second semester you take LDR 200L. The second semester is definitely more challenging and higher level thinking compared to the first. 

Nearing The End…

… of freshman year that is! Which means it’s time for all of my first year reflections.

Ted Talk: The Golden Circle

What kind of impact are you going to have on the world?

How are you going to accomplish everything you do?

Why are you inspired to make a difference?

Service without Performance

How do you perform service without making it a performance?

Alternative Winter Break: Natural Disaster Restoration

Alternative Breaks: A program where students are able to sign up for an issue, and then serve across the nation for a weekend or a week of their winter, spring, or summer breaks to help . Central Michigan University has the third largest alternative break program in the country and I am so happy that I have the opportunity to be a part of it.

Psych 100L

Psych 100(Introduction to Psychology) is another class that was part of our LAS protocol for our first semester of freshman year. I had taken two psychology classes in high school and was very excited to be able to take another one coming into college.
