Just days before my 21st birthday, I am embracing a new year and a new me.

​It’s been a long time coming but I can finally share that I am transferring to Rutgers University next Fall! I will be pursuing a degree in Public Health at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

This was not an easy decision to make and I will miss Georgia Tech dearly. I’ve made some lifelong friends and have grown tremendously as a person, leader, and entrepreneur in my two years there.

I know that it’s the end of the semester for a lot of people and many are studying for exams right now so I thought I’d share something about anxiety, specifically test anxiety. 

Exactly a year ago, all I wanted was to give up and not study. I really didn’t want to take my finals thinking that I was gonna fail them anyway. In fact, all I wanted was to fly home and just take an Incomplete for the semester. 

And I totally would have, if it weren't for the support of my mom and my closest friends in Alpha Gam and at Georgia Tech.
