Why did you want to be part of The College Tour? When I got the email about TCT coming to 性视界传媒 I thought it would be a cool thing to submit, something different than what you get to do on a regular basis. I would have really loved to have had a TCT about 性视界传媒 before I came here so I could get a vibe or learn from other people like me, who were doing the same things as me so I can get a feeling and learn more about it, especially from being so far away.
Advice for fellow students? Don鈥檛 have expectations, come with an open mind, and buy a really good sunscreen.
What are your favorite Vegas activities? One of my favorite things so far has been going to a music festival. I got to see 5 Seconds of Summer, Avril Lavinge, Big Time Rush. 性视界传媒 gave us discount tickets so it was really cool.
I鈥檝e also been on a lot of hikes around the area like Red Rock, Arizona Hot Springs. I鈥檝e really enjoyed traveling around the country, too. The airport is so close by. Flights might be expensive but you can get a good deal so I鈥檝e been traveling all over

Advice for new students? Don't get overworked, and don鈥檛 get stressed. Do a light load your first semester so you can get accustomed to the college lifestyle. And, you鈥檙e an adult now, so it can be overwhelming. But take your time, don鈥檛 sweat the small stuff, don鈥檛 get overworked your first semester, and just find a flow that works for you. Then you can carry that with you for the rest of your college career and you鈥檒l be successful.
For fellow military students, remember that it鈥檚 a big adjustment because a lot of us have served previously so we鈥檙e a little bit older coming into school. So you have to find that balance between how to work with younger people and how to relate to them and that can be a challenge. But there are great resources on campus and around the valley that will help veterans who want to go to school to help pursue their goals and get used to how college is as an older student. You鈥檒l find your way and you鈥檒l be successful.
Why did you want to be part of The College Tour? I saw the email come through and I thought it鈥檇 be a cool experience. I was thinking about taking acting classes or film classes on the side or as a hobby, and I just wanted to test it out and see how it would be. I didn鈥檛 even know if I鈥檇 get picked, I just thought it'd be a fun cool thing to do and it鈥檚 something that I can take with me to show my kids down the road or my family and be like look I did this cool thing it was a cool project I got to do. The show is a great show. I鈥檝e watched it a few times because I鈥檓 from Florida, my brother went to FAU and they were there, and seeing how the whole thing worked would be pretty cool.

What was the filming experience like? 性视界传媒 has given me so many opportunities to grow. Being a part of The College Tour allows me to give back to my beloved Rebels family and practice one of my core values: Service. The filming experience was challenging at first but turned out great eventually. I got to film at six different locations, which I hold dear to my heart.
What advice do you have for new students? Striking the iron when it is hot is alright. However, there is a greater option! Let's proactively research, reach out, and have conversations with people; you can pave the way and bring in opportunities by yourself.
