I am currently a Senior at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. While I did study Nursing for two years which included working at Brigham and Woman's Hospital on a maternity floor and a general floor, I ended up transferring over to Human Services where I plan on finishing my Bachelor's Degree in the spring of 2017. I plan on becoming a Kindergarten teacher and already have a few job opportunities lined up which is a pretty great feeling to have. Once teaching, I will have up to five years to obtain my Master's in Early Education, which I plan to obtain at the least expensive school possible.
When I was a senior in high school, I applied to five schools: Northeastern University, Quinnipiac University, University of Connecticut (UCONN), Fairfield University, and Saint Anslem University. I ended up going 5/5 with acceptances, including basically a half-ride in scholarships to Qunnipiac and several other scholarships elsewhere. I ended up turning down the scholarships for Northeastern University because of it's exceptional co-op program as well as the brand recognition, and thus my college experience kicked off in the fall of 2012.
My advice on students going into college? Don't fret about becoming the "popular" kid. Friends will find you. And if not, it's the worst thing ever. You'll learn how to mature and become your own person, which is something that I think is honestly difficult to do while in high school. Enjoy the moment and make the best out of your time in college. If I could do one thing over, I would try to care less about what other people thought of me and just be myself and follow my own path. Cliche in a way, but I've seen so many people do that that it's worht mentioning.
I just committed to Providence College for the fall, gonna be majoring in English which is Career Suicide but you only live once, motherfucker. I'm really kind of terrified about leaving all my friends behind and the girl I'm into is moving 1,000 miles away and it's all gonna be New And Crazy but overall I'm kind of excited for it. kind of. it's still deeply frightening and I'd like to have another four years of high school, but that's not gonna get me anywhere thinking about it, so I try not to. the feeling of moving on up is pretty neat.
Yo bro, my brother went there. If you want any tips about the campus life there, just hit me up and I can let you know all the juicy details. Plus, I live 30 minutes from Providence so if you ever want
alcohol to chill, just let me know! (:
