My journey at SIUE has been a rollercoaster. But isn’t that what life is about? I’ve been in college since July so I feel like I’ve had a just of what college is about a littler earlier than other students. Sometimes school work can be a lot, managing friendships/relationships, and even maintaining your mental health but I think it’s all about balance and I personally feel like I’ve learned how to balance things from my school life to my personal life.
