really made my dream seem real.” Quan’s experience in New College has prepared her for her next step. “My major in social advocacy fits perfectly into what I want to pursue in law school, which is advocating for those who do not have a voice for themselves in the courtroom,” she said. Before Quan heads to law school, she will spend nine months in Macedonia as a Fulbright recipient working as an English teaching assistant. “It is an absolute honor and dream come true to work in any…

to train players. Also I would like to learn about tactics and motivational methods. It is an interesting career because I think coaches have to be teachers, mentors and trainers, all at the same time.

I want to go to law school to become a defense lawyer because I want to represent those who do not have many resources. In the Criminal Justice System, minority groups are misrepresented because they do not have enough money to pay for good lawyers. I want to double…

Depression and sadness in undergrads are at an all time high. I know this because I am going through this as we speak. During the course of my undergrad year, I have been having huge amounts of depression and anxiety. I am not sure exactly what it is but I know that being a 21-year-old in college has a lot to do with it. Stress with living on my own, having to balance a job and my schoolwork has taken a major toll on me as a young adult. What I have realized listening to my peers is that a…
