“What was your best moment of the first week of classes?”
“On Monday we did orientation for nursing school and we got our nursing school badges which was really cool and we all had our badges clips and it made that whole experience surreal. We got accepted into nursing school last semester, but it kind of sealed the deal and made everything real.“ |

“I do not like the post-Chapel rush to the Bean and that can get really frustrating and annoying. Especially after morning classes and chapel, you’re just ready to eat, and you have to sprint your way to the Bean.“ |
