Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

WOW… Senior year is flying by… I cannot believe we are already over half way through the fall semester. Crazy!

Since these are my last couple semesters on campus I want to mention a few things I have decided to prioritize in my little time left at Purdue. Through covid having taken away a good chunk of my college experience, I want to do the best I can to make up for lost time… After all there really isn’t another time in your life like college! First, and definitely not a new priority for me, is Purdue sports! I have been to every football, volleyball, baseball, and basketball game my schedule allows for. I have always loved sports but going to a Big Ten school has just enhanced that love, and the games are a great way to support your fellow Boilermakers and give yourself a break from schoolwork. Next, is my club activities. I am an officer in Agronomy Club, a national officer for the National SASES Organizaton, and an Agronomy Ambassador. I have really focused on put a lot of time and energy into setting up both the SASES organization and the Purdue Agronomy club for success as I end my term and pass on my role to someone new. Another priority of mine is that a few of my friends and I have a Purdue bucket list with things such as going on a fountain run, visiting the Jedi room, and getting the famous Triple X breakfast. We have close to 25 items that we hope to accomplish before graduation in May! Finally, I am working to really prioritize being present in the moment with my friends and peers. We probably won’t all be able to be together like we are now for that much longer, so prioritizing time with them is important as I finish out my college career.

My time at Purdue really has been more than I ever could have imagined and I am excited to experience all that is to come the rest of senior year!

Boiler Up!
