“There are tons of great faculty here who have helped me out a lot. They all tolerate my endless questions in class and help out when I ask for it. I have found that teachers will always make time for you outside of class hours. I love all the faculty but especially professors Paul Martino and Sara O’Brien. They are here for me whenever I need and give me great advice. We’ve had numerous insightful discussions, and they have helped me personally and in my educational endeavors.”

“My J-Term class was by far my favorite. We went scuba diving for a week in Honduras and then explored mainland Honduras for another three days. I had so many insightful conversations with our teachers and the people joining us on the trip, and got to meet and bond with my peers. I have so many special stories from this trip that I will hold on to for the rest of my life.”

“I co-founded Carthage’s chapter of Best Buddies and am currently the co-president. Additionally, I co-founded the Clinical Psychology Club and am the president of this club. I am also a member of the Soccer Club, Special Olympics, Enactus, Psych Club, and Interfaith Lunch. I’m involved in so much but love being a part of each organization because I get to see the friends I’ve made at each gathering.”

“I am loosely associated with the Neurophysiology Lab and plan to prioritize it more next semester. I got into the SURE program to continue my research with Prof. O’Brien, and I am one of the two psych fellows.”

“I want to be a clinical psychologist or, in other words, a therapist.”

“There are so many good spots on campus. I have a bunch of homework spots or places I go to call friends and family, but I think sitting out by the lake has got to be my favorite.”

“Our last Best Buddies meeting this year was a special one to me. The weather was beautiful, so we played bags, giant Jenga, Uno, and volleyball outside The Tower. It was special not only because of the weather and activities, but because I made an effort to enjoy the event. Normally, I am running around, managing, and making sure everything is running smoothly, but at that meeting, I just got to hangout. I really enjoyed it.”

“The Champion’s League game this year is another one of my top memories. Instead of just playing pickup, the Carthage Soccer Club organized a full 11v11 with referees and used a scoreboard. It was so much fun playing competitively with friends and family in the stands.”

“Don’t just look at your notes, try to organize them into what is important in a study guide.”

“Get involved and make an effort. Getting involved is one of the most overused statements, but it is for a reason. If you don’t find a club that matches your interests, you can always make one yourself.”

“My eight-year-old self would think I am a beast. I feel like he would admire the goals I have decided to tackle in my career/studies, but most importantly, he would also be very proud of me for breaking out of my shell, getting involved, and making so many amazing friends.”
