1. What advice do you have for incoming students?
Three things: set up routines, join a club, and explore the city. Setting up a routine was the hardest thing for me to do since the quarter moves so fast, but it helps me keep track of my consistency and definitely establishes my motivation for the day. Joining orgs and exploring the city helped me find new ways to deviate from my routine by providing me opportunity to push myself, and it also helped me feel closer in the sense of community.
2. What is your favorite thing about UC San Diego?
I really like how big the campus is. There's a sense of inconvenience when it comes to needing to get around, but I have really come to value the walks that I take between classes or meetings. It allows me to hear the sounds of the people and the university, and taking more notice of my mental wellbeing.
3. What do you like to do in your free time?
I absolutely love to crochet and laze about on a nice lounge chair covered by shade. I also love listening to live music, thrifting, meditation, and editing videos I take on my camcorder.
