My keys to success during my time here at
WVU have been pretty simple: work hard, apply
yourself, but also have fun. When I 
was applying for college in the fall of 2016,
I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do
with my life. I didn’t know what to major
in, I wasn’t really sure what path I wanted
to go down, but there was one thing that I
always knew that I wanted to do, which was
attend law school. So, basically, to start
figuring out what major I wanted to pursue,
I kind of looked up what paths I could go
on that weren’t typical paths like political
science or philosophy I could go in to in
order to prepare myself for law school. So,
originally, I found journalism and that is
my first major, and it was one of the best
decisions I ever made. I fell in love with
the Reed College of Media. But then once I
was at school, I realized that I had time
to double major, and so I found Multidisciplinary
Studies, and I got to craft my own major by
picking three minors with the Eberly College,
and my time at WVU has been the best because
of these decisions. Both of my majors have
helped prepare me for my future career by
teaching me how to think critically, and I
think this is one of the most important skills
you can learn during your time in higher education.
Journalism and Multidisciplinary Studies were
both great for this, and I had so many courses
that taught me how to think in ways I never
did before. This is going to help me tremendously
as I prepare for a future career as a lawyer.
My most memorable moment at WVU happened in
the spring of my sophomore year when I decided
to go through formal sorority recruitment,
and I found my home in the Iota Chapter of
Alpha Xi Delta. Joining Alpha Xi has given
me so many amazing opportunities, a support
group, and the best group of friends I could
ever ask for. Since joining, my confidence
in myself has grown tremendously, and I just
want to thank the entire Greek community for
helping me find my home. I would recommend
West Virginia University to a friend because
I feel like there’s no other college campus
like it. The atmosphere is so unique and one
that just makes every student feel at home.
I personally feel like every single person
that comes to West Virginia University gets
that feeling that every student does that
you belong no matter what.
