Coming into university I knew that there was going to be a mile long list of ‘firsts’: My first time doing my own laundry, first 500 person lecture, first time spending over 12 hours in a library. However I don’t…
Overcoming my Fear of Professors
Up until last Thursday, I don’t think I had ever actually seen a professor up close. I mean, sure, I’ve sat front row in lecture or passed them while walking to class, but I am really bad at actually talking…
Finding a Passion… For Fashion
