The seminar was interesting and taught me a lot. Points they brought up were communication skills and appearance. I agree with this because the way you introduce and present yourself is important. First impression is a big factor in getting hired for a company and you want to impress the interviewer. You need to have confidence and present yourself in a formal and professional manner that would make you look responsible and fit for the job. The advice and information that were presented in the seminar were overall useful and noteworthy.

It was pretty interesting hearing monologues written by strangers. Some were funny, corny, and random. Others were serious, sad, and stuff I would never be able to share with the whole freshman class. Although we don’t know whose monologue was whose, I believe that those who submitted their monologues to be performed had a lot of courage. One that stuck to my  mind was the one where the speaker was talking about how she regrets not showing respect and love to her mom before she passed away. I can somehow relate cause I sometimes tend to not be the best daughter. I have times when I’m not as nice as I should be to my parents and I tend to block them out of my personal life. I don’t know what I’ll do without my family and I know that if I ever lose one of them, I’ll regret all those times I was rude and selfish. All in all, Voices was a new experience for me and there were many topics spoke about that I could relate to.

It’s hard not having you next to me. It’s hard not being able to see or talk to you whenever I want to. It’s already been about half a year, six months, since you’ve left and I know I should slowly be getting used to it but I’m not. I still miss you more and more every day and this feeling has never changed from day one. I know you left for a good reason and I shouldn’t be selfish for wanting you to quit and come back… but I can’t help it. Even though I talk to you every night and video chat with you almost every week, I still miss you. From seeing you every day to now, seeing you every six months is such a big change. I thought that now that I was entering college and I can keep myself busy, it would all get better, but it’s not. I do want you to know that I’m proud of you and I will always be your number one supporter…. From the start to the end. While you chase your dreams, I’ll try to focus on my future and if everything was meant to be, we’ll still be together four years from now… when you’re done with the Air force, and I’m done with college. I know four years is a long time from now and we can never predict the future, but I really hope we can get through this together. I hope you are forever safe, healthy, strong, and happy. Thank you for making me so happy. Thank you for everything.

Hm…. who am I? I feel like some of us can’t fully answer this question because we are all in a stage where we’re in process of finding out. I’ve just entered college and I believe throughout college, I’ll learn more about who I am and what I want in life. In this transition from high school to college, I’ve realized that college is not at all easy. I mean, I’ve been warned from others but now that I’m actually experiencing it, I know myself. It’s all about time management, responsibilities, and confidence. My main concerns are: juggling school, work, and social life, procrastination, and making the right choices. I feel like the choices we make right now will either destroy or make us in the future. In high school, I would always cut class and not take anything seriously. I hope my freshman year in college will allow me to break away from old habits and make school one of my top priorities.

My name is Ha Jung Lee but most people call me Unice… yes, without the E. Our little trip to the Newman Library was informative and helpful. Robi showed us all the floors of the library and showed us where to go if we needed info about resources, computers, and books. It was all useful information that would help us throughout our school year. The library is a great spot to study, sleep, and just chill. It has comfortable couches and a quiet atmosphere. I look forward to spending my time there… especially during finals week.
