For my last blog post, I thought it would be interesting to go back throughout my freshman year and SCU and recap and some things that I learned in my first year of college.

It has been a great year with lots of learning experiences throughout it. It went by so fast and was filled with tons of firsts and lots of new things. Living on my own for the first time came with a lot of responsibility and I learned a lot about managing my time and figuring out what things work best for me when trying to handle school and rowing as well as social life.
With rowing, I realized that I had to make a lot of sacrifices during the year in order to be able to continuously wake up at 5:15 every morning while still getting enough sleep and getting my school work done. This was a great learning experience and allowed me to get my priorities straight while keeping up good work both in and out of the classroom.

Next year I will be living in my own house which will be a huge change and another great learning experience. This is another step to becoming an adult and being part of the “real world” which is crazy to think about in my mind. See you soon SCU.
