A lot happens over the course of a student’s college journey. From anxiously stepping onto campus and moving into their dorm, to meeting new friends and sitting down in their very first class, the experience is a rush and mix of emotions, both high and low.  You begin the adventure as a young adult full of wonder and excitement, and you leave having fully grown into a fuller, brighter, more intentional version of who you were at the beginning.

From orientation to graduation, this series takes a look at the year-by-year journey of Emily’s college experience. This is her story.
