What made you choose Hofstra?
“I grew up not too far from it and passed it fairly often. I honestly thought I would never go there because I was set on going away to school, but when it came down to it, Hofstra offered more [money] than any other school. Plus, being with my family is pretty cool!”
What made you choose your major?
“I know it sounds weird, but I really love math so accounting is awesome for me!”
Best memory at Hofstra?
“Going to the debate,” Tara was one of the lucky ones selected to recieve a ticket by the lottery system, “It was pretty cool! I mean to be honest it was a really long day and I’m not super into politics so I feel like other people would’ve liked it more, but I met Mark Cuban so that was really cool!”
Plans after college:
“Hopefully I will become a CPA, Certified Public Accountant, and be working for a firm in NYC.”
Favorite vacation?
“Jamaica 2015 because it was the first vacation I went on without my parents. It was just me and my older sister so it was cool being on our own to explore.”
Are you looking forward to graduation?
“Yes and no; yes, because I’m excited to finally be done with school, but no because I’m scared to actually enter the adult world since I’m afraid I’ll have no clue what I’m doing.”
