One class in particular, Intro to Basic Acting, has shown me what it is to be calm and to simply listen to yourself, to know your limitations and to understand how to break free from them as well. Anything is possible. You can work hard, or you don't. It is a simple choice, but to know deep inside how capable you are makes doing anything so much more easier.

Honestly, college was not at all what I thought it would be. I am not saying that it turned out to be worse, or better but just different. I have discovered from my college experience that if you really want something you must be very driven by your passion, it is the only thing that will really help you get through the stress and all the hard work. I did not think it would be as hard as it ended up being but in reality students realize it is not about how hard college is but, all the little lessons you learn along the way from your mistakes and experiences.

Majority of students have no idea what they want to study and even though they might think they know trust me they dont know. This is why it's important to go to a school that has a variety of classes so you can learn about a whole bunch of stuff isnt that what gaining knowledge is about. Isn't this why we value education. Hunter College provides all of that. When i went to hunter i was in a premed block program but instead of majoring in science i ended up majoring in Anthropology & minoring in English. I even took theatre ,Make-up for the stage &Acting. It made the stress of science courses bearable and it was fun & brought up my gpa.
