NEW BL-AWE-G POST: An Overview of My Summer Experiences ☀️
|
|
|
Written by Jessica Yu (CS, Fall '21)
"My summer activities were chosen based on what made the most sense to me at the time. Since coming to college, I have had a distaste for overloading my plate. Some people may choose to do more than I do, some people may choose to do less. Anything works so long as you are comfortable with your decision! Don’t compare yourself to others too much."
Are you a freshman or sophomore w/ no plans for this summer? Want some advice on what to do with those precious months of free time? Read recent grad Jess' blog post detailing her summer experiences since freshman year - interning, taking classes, being on course staff, and doing some self reflection!

When: Mon 4:30-5:30 pm, Wed 10-11 am
