Appreciating What I Have
With the start of a new year, I realized... this was my last year. My goal is to make the most of this time. Even though COVID put a damper on my UW Bucket List, there are still plenty of opportunities for me to go out and enjoy my last few months of college. I decided to go out on walks, try my hand at cooking more (air fryers are the best invention ever), photography, and overall just do what I enjoy! I spent more time (usually virtually) with friends and got to take classes that led to interesting projects!
When the Pandemic Isn't the Only Problem During RA Training...
So the whole "COVID will only last a quarter thing was a lie... We started the new school year with the same restrictions as Spring Quarter and another quarter of Zoom Univeristy at the UW. Not only that, but there was more than just a pandemic. The beginning of training brought in smoke due to wildfires happening... well everywhere from BC to Eastern Washington to California. The levels got as high as hazardous for a few days. We actually cheered when it became "Unhealthy" because it was a week of being stuck in the building except to leave for food. And then the rain came to save us! Or so we thought because within one week, in the middle of move-in, the rain poured down hard, soaking everything (including me) and even flooding the area between Lander and Maple. As of February, that area was still closed due to reconstruction from the flooding.
Looking Ahead
Even though it is only Autumn Quarter, I was starting to look towards life after college. In October, I officially applied for Graduation at the end of Spring Quarter! It was a moment 3 years in the making. It made the realization that this is my last year a lot more real... A few weeks later, after multiple job interviews, I accepted a my first full time job with a post-graduation position at Capital One to be a UX Design Associate in their Design Development Program! After graduation, I will be moving to Washington D.C. to start my job and my new journey after college!
