Senior Year

Now, its my Senior year and I can't believe how fast these 4 years have gone by. It makes me sad thinking about growing up and graduating from college. Through these past years, I have grown into a strong, independent women. And, I will not change a thing about my experience in college. All I can do is savor the memories and remember all that I have learned in college-good or bad.



Junior Year


Junior year, I lived on Beechurst with my roommate Tiffney. I had a lot of fun this year because I turned the big 2-1 in February '08! I don't remember much about the night and as you can imagine I don't have a lot of pictures either. LOL.

I did very well this semester in school. Also, I decided that I wanted to go to graduate school after graduating during my senior year.

Sophomore Year


Sophomore year, I lived in Sterling Ridge Apartments aka College Park. One thing I remember about living in Sterling, was waiting on the shuttle rain, sleet, snow or hail. Sterling is located before District Apartments on the Evansdale campus, so it is a long distance from the Downtown campus. After catching the shuttle, I would either catch the bus downtown or the unreliable PRT (uggghhh)! Also, during my sophomore year my friend Art from high school transfered from Marietta College to WVU. It was nice to see an old face.

Also, during this year I met my junior year roommate, Tiffney, through her sister Jenn-who was my other roommate sophomore year.

Freshman year

Freshman year, I was really shy. I had to start all over from high school and motivate myself to be more outgoing to meet new people. As far as academics, I did pretty well. I had to re-program my studying habits in order to survive my first year of college.

Also, there were times when I got homesick but all I did was call my mom or a friend from home to cope with missing my family and friends. I met many new friends my first year of college, but there were a few that we connected on a higher level. One was my roommate sophomore year and current roommate and my boyfriend.

Project 2-From Pittsburgh to Morgantown

During my senior year of high school, I had my heart set on going to Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. My mother wanted me to go to  Duquesne University which is actually a hope, skip, and a jump from my house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I had no intention on staying in Pittsburgh since my house is basically in Pitt's backyard.

Around April 2005, I received my financial aid award letter from Kent State and they wanted BIG BUCKS!! So, I re-evaluated my options and decided to attend WVU the day before the enrollment deposit was due. I officially became a Mountaineer on May 1st when my deposit made it to Morgantown.

During my freshman year, I lived in Pierpont Apartments.I did not know anyone before I came to WVU, but I quickly made many friends.
