By Christina Lanier, Class of 2018
Semester One: Check.
When I started here at UT Dallas
almost five months ago, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had never been to Texas
let alone gone to a Texas school. I didn't know what to expect from the
school, from the professors, from my peers. Looking back, I think I can say
everything couldn't have turned out better.
Over these last few months, I have
met so many students and professors who have fundamentally changed the way I
live my life- everyone here has something to offer. Everyday I am reminded that
I'm surrounded by some of the brightest students in the nation and that they
chose this place for some of the same reasons I did- to learn, to succeed in
college and beyond.
Even if the classes are way more challenging than I
expected and the food is sometimes sub-par, I can say with absolute certainty
that this school was the right fit for me.
And that is what college is all
about- finding the place and the professors that instill in you the desire to
learn beyond what the tests may cover, to learn for the sake of knowing more
and to have fun doing that.
Now that the this first semester has come to a close, and as the
class of 2018 begins to reflect upon that semester, I hope we all can say that
we have found the right s
chool for us.
Semester One: check. Here's to seven
more.
