How would you describe yourself as a first-year student?<\/strong> Involved, open-minded, and excited! I was so curious about what Trinity really was, so my mentality was always\u00a0\u201cthe water feels warmer when you jump right in!\u201d<\/p>\n

How would you describe yourself now?<\/strong> Honestly, with a lot of the same words. As a student, I\u2019m certainly still involved, open-minded, and excited, yet my perspective and\u00a0appreciation for all my experiences are different. I\u2019m involved, but I have a history with my\u00a0involvement. I\u2019m open-minded because of experiences and all that they\u2019ve allowed me. I\u2019m excited to take what this school has given me (which is a lot!) and use it for the future. It\u2019s amazing to be able to make some powerful connections looking\u00a0back<\/em> on my first moments at Trinity and my last.<\/p>\n

Which course has been your favorite? Why?<\/strong> This question is always hard for me to answer, only because I\u2019ve taken some really amazing courses here. In the end, however, I would say that my senior seminar for psychology, called \u201cThe Social Self,\u201d has been my favorite. The class had such an intimate setting with very few students, and we discussed some very real and\u00a0relevant content. In many ways, it felt like a course on life<\/em>, and, as we all kind of said goodbye to our major, it was a great environment to\u00a0close with.<\/p>\n

Which professor has influenced you the most? Why?<\/strong> Although he retired before I finished at Trinity, Professor William Mace meant so much to me! He was the first person to help me bridge the gap between studio arts and psychology, and I\u2019m constantly thankful for his positivity, excitement for my interests, and instilling in me the\u00a0belief that if I want to make something happen, I can.<\/p>\n

\"Abbey\"<\/a>What is the most important thing you have learned at Trinity?<\/strong> Although Trinity has given me so many things, I think the most important is that the power of relationships is a truly incredible thing. The relationships I\u2019ve formed with my peers, alumni, professors, and coaches have taught me so much more\u00a0than I ever could have planned to learn in a classroom or with a four-year academic plan. If I could leave one piece of advice to young students starting their careers at Trinity, it would be to connect with people as deeply and\u00a0honestly as you can, because those relationships will be absolutely\u00a0everything in the end.<\/p>\n

What has been most important to you outside of class?<\/strong> Definitely the community that makes this institution feel alive. Talking about the community that exists on this campus is something I highlight often in Admissions, and I think it\u2019s\u00a0because it couldn\u2019t feel more true.\u00a0Being a Bantam has been so rewarding.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite Trinity memory \u2026 so far?<\/strong> Moving back into Trinity for the fall semester of my sophomore year. To have spent my first year learning about what my life would be like at\u00a0Trinity, it was the most comforting, rewarding, and exciting experience to come back to campus and feel like my home<\/em> was waiting for me.<\/p>\n

Where do you hope to be in 10 years?<\/strong> Above all else, I hope I\u2019m surrounded by people who care about me, who I care about, and I hope I find myself feeling happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
