Its Fall 2020 semester and we are still facing the ramifications of COVID. Due to COVID all of my classes are online and require a different approach to learning. There are still the benefits and cons of learning online oppose to in-person.

My favorite service at ASU is taking advantage of their student services advisement department. I am constantly changing my classes and reworking what classes I can take and they do an excellent job at giving me feedback and guiding me to the correct course pathway.

So as I progress through my classes I have adapted and fine tuned my interests through trial and error.

  If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your "freshman self" or your "first-day-at-ASU self"? If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to be easier on myself. I've pushed myself to take heavy course loads so that I can graduate as quick as possible. But I have learned that if I focus on now instead of the future I am more satisfied with the results.
