1.     We all know the umber one thing to look forward to for the fall semester here at WVU is football season of course. WVU football games are one of a kind and it is something that everyone looks forward to when they are coming back to WVU for the fall semester. Not only are the football games awesome but also the tailgates have to be some of the best in the nation.  The feeling of family is felt as you walk through the parking lot and into the stadium. The icing on the cake has to be singing ‘Country Roads” at the end of game won by the Mountaineers.

2.     Being back with all of your friends has to be one of the more exciting things to look forward to when coming back for the fall semester. After a long summer apart you reunite with all of the people you enjoy the most and you act as if you were never really a part from each other. They do say that you meet some of your best friends in college.

3.     Bar hoping has to be another thing that everyone looks forward to for the fall semester at WVU. You are basically picking up right where you left off last semester. You are back with all of your friends frolicking up and down High Street in and out of bars while simultaneously posting Instagram pictures.

4.     Hiking Coopers Rock is also up there with some of the best things to look forward to for the fall semester. Walking through the beautiful scenery with the rolling hills and breathtaking views gives you the chance to see how beautiful this state is. It gives you a sense of freedom from all the stress of school and allows you to relax and enjoy your time in nature. Coopers Rock gives you the chance to see where “Almost Heaven, West Virginia” comes from.

5.     Something else that I’m sure everyone looks forward to for the fall semester would be to see if you can get a selfie with President Gee. It is always a great experience getting to meet the President of your school but what is cooler than getting a selfie wit him.  It is just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

  I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student. Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’ My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself. My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
