Freshmen make their mark at GSW

by Amari Rudison, Staff Writer

At Georgia Southwestern State University, we have a wonderful campus, and so many wonderful new students. This semester at GSW, we have almost five hundred new freshmen! GSW is a lively campus and has many things to offer for both residential students and commuters. This is a very exciting time, and since midterms are around the corner, we should check up on our freshmen and see how two of them are doing.

Trinity Daniels McNear is one of the many freshmen that live on campus, and she’s adjusting and getting involved in the GSW community. Trinity loves living on campus because she has her own space in Oaks, and it’s the perfect setting for her after a long day of classes. She chose GSW because of the amazing art program and hopes to accomplish her dream of being the owner of her very own art studio. Her favorite thing at GSW is Chick-Fil-A and the drawing room in the art building. When asked if she would still choose GSW after being here for only two months, she totally agreed and said she would choose it again with no hesitation. She’s enjoyed making new friends in the UNIV 1000 class and she’s excited to continue her journey.

For Adrianna Hortelano, being a freshman at GSW has given her so much joy. She’s made several friends, and she enjoys all her professors, especially the ones that have already made an impact on her. Her professors are all very understanding and helpful, and she’s so excited that they understand her and how she learns. When asked, Adrianna said she wouldn’t change anything about her choice coming here. It just feels right to her. Being a commuter is a little difficult for her, but she’s hoping for a change in the way commuters hang out on campus. Adrianna joined the Latinos United Club and Student Government Association to help her throughout her freshman year. What makes Adrianna get out of bed every day is her new experiences at GSW. She sees new faces and experiences new events and friendly smiles every day. Every day is different on the GSW campus.
