So I decided to try to be in the Honors

Program and got accepted. And I also

really wanted to be able to room with

Samantha because she's my best friend.

But also just the community it gives you

with other people who are striving

academically to achieve well and to do

big things. It's so encouraging to be

around that group of people.

I was worried about making friends in the

Honors Program and so I figured if we

all shared a close environment, it would

be easy to find study partners and

people to hang out with later at night.

And so I thought that would be a really

fun advantage to have.

I think really it was a decision that I wanted to be

around people who are very academically

focused, at least to have people that are

gonna be in the honors classes around me

just as a way to socialize and know

who's going to be in the program, who's

gonna be in the classes—kind of a way to

really dive in the program.
