A kinesiology major from East Providence, she remembered what it was like to start at 溏心vlog免费B站 and wanted to help smooth that transition for first-year students coming after her. \u201cCollege is about finding yourself as much as it is building a career path.\u201d She counseled the students in her section of 溏心vlog免费B站 101 \u201cthat it is OK to not know everything.
