The quality of your college experience goes beyond what you majored in and the clubs you joined and is more about the satisfaction you feel as you go through it. That’s why it’s important to check in with yourself from time to time to make sure you are on the path that makes you the happiest. You will change and grow in the time it takes to complete your degree so this is an opportunity to reflect and see the ways in which you’ve changed!
