woooo a thread for me!
I’m going into my junior year.

Most excited about:
-Seeing my best friends again!
-Turning 21. Barely more than 3 months left!
-Classes starting.
-My cultural aide position
-Finding a job so I can get income again
-Football season! MSU football and basketball

Biggest Challenges:
-Being dirt broke (whereas before I had savings, now I have loans! wooo).
-Being a cultural aide (similar to resident mentor/assistant position, except less disciplinary stuff and more cultural/academic transitions-focused). This is my first year doing the job and I don’t have any idea how it is going to turn out.
-Finding a job (so I can have spending money).
-Getting my grades up (they’ve been mediocre for my standards, I know I can do better)
-Balancing work and my cultural aide job with classes and clubs and friends and a social life. (a good night’s sleep is going to be out of the picture)
-Applying for summer internships in public/international policy. Hoping I can find something paid/related to my interests???

Things I fear:
-pretty much all of the above, what happens if it doesn’t work out…etc. And also just failure in general.

Plans:
-Find a school job.
-Find a summer internship.
-Start looking at grad schools.
-Start studying for GREs.
etc. etc.
