I chose my major because I have always been into sales and promotions, and I think marketing has the perfect combination of what I see myself doing in the future, hopefully at a fashion company.
My favorite class or professor at NIU is English 103/104 with Mrs. Rickett.
My favorite thing to do on campus is working out at the Recreational Center and, when its nice out, walk around campus.
Outside of the classroom, my favorite thing at NIU that really enhances my experience here is downtown DeKalb. I love walking around, eating and shopping. It feels like an olden day town, which is something new. Back home, my town is nothing like it.
When I have free time, I like to watch Friends, my favorite TV show.
One thing I wish I knew about actual college life before I got here is to be ready to miss your moms cooking.
One positive thing I have learned about myself since coming to NIU is I have learned that I am a very independent person, and I love it.
If I was guaranteed success, I would ... make sure to not stress out about school so much and possibly take a year off to travel around the world, especially with a stop at the Greek Isles.
After graduation, I plan to start graduate school to get an MBA in marketing or take a semester off and go to India to spend a good four to five months with my family there, something that I have never really had time to do.
The one NIU experience I will always remember will be ... this summer. I was an orientation leader, and I think that this summer was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Living with nine other leaders and working together was an absolute blast.
