We sat down with an alumni from the class of 2017 and asked them some questions and boy, did they give us some answers!
Q1: What is something you miss most from college?
A1: What I miss most about college is not being able to walk down the hallway, step across the room or even walk through the bathroom and see my best friends! We all live in different states or hours away so it’s hard to see each other and hang out. I made my best friends in college while playing soccer and they are who helped me get through college in one piece!
Q2: Do you miss the rigorous schedule of being a student-athlete?
A2: Kind of. I thought my schedule was hectic then, but little did I know it was helping me prepare for what my life is now. It has helped me stay on top of my job and all the curve balls life has thrown at me.
Q3: What do you miss the least about college?
A3: I do not miss group projects or the caf food! đ I do not know what the food is like now but they really went down hill or maybe I am just a picky eater! I had to learn to budget and learn to make the most of snacks. Peanut Butter became my best friend!
Q4: What do you miss most about being on a team?
A4: What I miss most about being on a team is having someone who knows what you are going through and still being able to encourage other and help each other get through the workouts! Now, I still have those amazing girls helping me get through life while making it fun but they aren’t down the hallway or just a short trip away. I loved seeing the team 2-3 times a day and just being able to be in a family atmosphere. We didn’t win a lot when I was on the team (which they are now and it is so awesome!!) so we definitely had to encourage and push each other even when we didn’t feel like it. I can’t describe how blessed I am that I got to be a part of the NGU family and if you get a chance to be apart of this awesome program, I highly recommend you take part, you won’t regret it.
