“Have fun, don’t stress, it will all work out as long as you keep having things to look forward to.”

What do you think you’ve learned since being at Cornell that you did not know before you arrived?

I’ve learned that there is always something for everyone wherever you go, whether it be sports, friend groups, activities, etc.

Who helped you along your college journey?

I think the two people that I have to thank the most are Justus Hallam and Loren Nydegger. Justus and Loren have always been more than happy to help me succeed in any way that I need. Just having the relationships that I do have with them, I know they will always be there for me when I need them or when I need help. I consider both of them close friends, and I am more than grateful to have them in my life. I have learned so much from them.

Describe the block plan.

The block plan is difficult in the sense that if you fall behind even one day you are chasing to catch up until the very last day. But if you are on task and have good professors, it’s a great time because you learn a lot, you only have to focus on one class, and you get to know your professor and classmates very well.

What is your advice to the classes behind you?

Have fun, don’t stress, it will all work out as long as you keep having things to look forward to.
