9 Things To Know About Me
Muriel Nave

Since this is my first publication, I thought I would let my readers get to know a little bit about me!

1. I was born and raised in Savannah, GA.

I have lived in the beautiful southern city of Savannah my entire life. My parents own some waterfront property, and we spend hot summer days swimming in the river.

2. I love sports.

I grew up playing soccer, basketball, tennis, volleyball, swim team, softball and cheerleading. In high school, I dropped everything except volleyball and played for my school in the fall and a club team in the spring and summer. Now I go to school sport events and watch college and professional sports on TV all the time.

3. My favorite color is purple!

I’ve loved purple for most of my life. My old room was pink because it was my little sister’s favorite color, but when we did some home renovations, I got a new room and got to pick the color. I picked a light lavender purple.

4. I have a giant family.

I have one older sister, one younger sister and two younger brothers who are twins. My dad has one sister with three kids, but he has multiple cousins who all have kids, and some of those kids already have kids. My mom has two sisters and four brothers. Most of them have kids and some of those kids have kids. My extended family on my mother’s side is around one hundred people, give or take a dozen or so. Family reunions are crazy and never seem to end.

5. I’m an exercise science major.

I want to become a pediatric physical therapist and help children with disabilities gain confidence while helping them gain strength. I’ve always loved working with children, and this seems like the perfect career path for me… as long as I can pass chemistry…

6. I’m a freshman at Kennesaw State University.

I left Savannah to come to college at Kennesaw State University and get a fresh start. I knew very few people here and decided this would be the perfect place for me to explore myself and step outside of my comfort zone. I had no idea during move in that I would love my roommate enough to move in with her again the next year or that those girls who were rushing with me that I didn’t even know how to talk to would be my sisters and friends. I had no idea that living away from home would make me so homesick but so happy to be on my own at the same time.

7. I’m in Gamma Phi Beta.

I rushed during my first semester and joined Gamma Phi Beta and could not have been happier with my decision. I know that Greek life isn’t for everyone, but I would be so lost without my amazing sisters and my perfect Big. My sisters and Big have been there for me through all my crazy decisions, and supported me in every new adventure I’ve been on.

8. I have the greatest dog on the planet!

I know everyone thinks they have the best dog in the world, but there’s no way for you to convince me that yours is better than mine. She is sassy and demanding, but she is loyal and protective. She is brave and won’t back down from a fight when she thinks her family is being threatened. Every time I go home, she’s always the first family member to greet me, and when I pack and get ready to leave again, she pouts and lays by my suitcase in the entry way and ignores me when I try to give her attention so I know she’s upset with me for leaving again.

9. I’m a nerd at heart.

I love science puns. My friends from Savannah and I still play Pokemon Go, and a fun night is going head to head with my friends in Super Smash Bros. I didn’t read "The Lord of the Rings" or play Zelda growing up, but I can still catch a lot of nerdy references.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
