I always perceived D.C. as a formidable force. The city seemed to embody this massive being and gave me a feeling that’s hard to put into words — one that I could never pinpoint or understand. Before the summer began, I knew that I might end up in D.C. one day, given my interests and what I study — political science and public service. It always seemed likely that I would end up in D.C., but it never felt tangible to me before this year.

My first year was a whirlwind, to say the least. It’s exciting, frightening, nerve-wracking and intimidating. People tell you that college is going to be the best time of your life, which can make it seem like this big, ominous thing that you have to do correctly. I’ve learned that “doing college right” is not a real thing. I mean, it is, but not in the straight line, stereotypical way everyone means. I don’t think there is one explicit right way to do college.

The first day of work is always daunting, there's no way
around it. Thanks to the orientation program at McCague Borlack, I
felt as well prepared as I possibly could be. But of course, I was
nervous when that email went out announcing:
"The Summer Students
are available to take on assignments."
So many questions ran through my mind – What if I
don't know where to start? What if I take too long to complete
my tasks? What if I can't keep up with the workload?

There are many movies or television series that truly make me believe in the romance between the characters. Some actors do such a good job acting that I can’t help but think they are in love — in the least parasocial and delusional way, of course. In a world where all external realities like sexuality, geographic location and relationship status don’t matter, these actors would make great couples.

My first year of college, back in 2022, I hesitantly joined the slew of “Bridgerton” fans. Season Two of “Bridgerton” had just come out, and my love for enemies-to-lovers plotlines got the best of me. I just had to watch. This first season, truthfully, was hard to get through. I loved Daphne and Simon on their own, but their relationship was difficult to watch and their issues seemed impossible to get through.
