"I believe the best way to meet people and connect with them is getting involved on campus. I have met a lot of my friends in several different organizations. Many of my friends come from the marching band, as it is crucial that we work together as a team to accomplish new goals and put on a show at . In addition, I have become close with the other Honors Fellows as we work together to better the Honors Program. Clubs have also been a great way for me to meet people and form relationships."
