The Journey 🚶♀️
I did not think my before and after picture would be liked as much as it is. This picture was taken my junior year of college.
I miss VT.
Upon reflection my time being there I took it for granted. I didn’t appreciate the education that was being given to me and for the most part I did not use my time wisely. Hence my fifth year in college.
Thankfully I graduated last year in May.
If I ever had the chance to visit my younger self, I would tell her to fight for her future and to keep going forward. To unconditionally love herself.

Reflecting on one's college journey often brings a mix of nostalgia and growth. Many graduates, like myself, wish they could visit their younger selves with advice that emphasizes resilience and self-love. As I think about my junior year at Virginia Tech, I realize the academic privileges I took for granted. The transition from being a college student to a graduate is filled with challenges, but these experiences also pave the way for personal growth. It's vital for current students to utilize their time wisely and seek fulfillment in their education. Future opportunities await them, and the memories made during these years will last a lifetime. Encouraging self-discovery and support systems among peers can make all the difference. Embracing moments, both good and bad, is essential for shaping our identity as we step into the future. Let's inspire each other to appreciate our journeys, celebrate our successes, and learn from our missteps. In sharing your experiences, you may uplift others similarly navigating the tumultuous waters of higher education. Remember, every chapter of your life contributes to your unique story, and connecting with communities can provide additional guidance. The lessons learned extend beyond academics; they shape us into who we are meant to be.
