Hi. My name's Arianna George, and this is going to

be my unit Final project.

So I'm going to start out with a little bit

of history about myself.

Um, I include some pictures just for reference.

Just to show you guys, Um, what kind of stuff

I am into now and stuff that I also really

enjoyed doing before coming.

You come.

Um, I really enjoy spending time with my friends traveling.

I have a lot of family in Europe, so I

go there pretty often.

I love going to concerts.

I mean, I used to love going to concerts, but,

you know, that's subject really happened now.

Anyways, um, also, like animals, I really love animals.

Made my friends went to go play with goats one

time. That was really fun.

Um, I also just got a new puppy.

So, you know, walking her and stuff like that playing

with her is really fun for me.

And, um, yeah, I think my interests have pretty much

stayed the same.

Mostly. I mean, there's some new things that I've learned

about myself in that I think I've, you know, gotten

more involved in since coming.

UConn. But I'll get into that a little bit later.

Also, I'd like to outline my original expectations for life

at UConn.

I honestly was kind of intimidated by college to begin

with. I thought it was gonna be really hard and

that I was going to be able to get good

grades and that, especially being at home, it would be

taking like, a big toll on my mental health and

stuff. So, honestly, I was pretty worried about it.

But I'll talk about later how my expectations have changed

and progressed.

So I honestly haven't done that much so far.

UConn. But, I mean, I guess being at home has

kind of It's been hard Thio get out there and

do new things.

But I have been studying biology, which has been really

interesting. I did get a job at a golf course

at the beginning of the semester.

I mean now, not so much anymore because it's gotten

colder. But that was a really fun job, and I'm

excited to get back into that Once the warmer months

come. Um, also I've been like I said earlier, I

did get into working out a lot more so like

I've been running and like trying to lift weights and

stuff like that, just working on, like, you know, self

care and trying to improve and better myself with the

free time that I have Right now, I'm also focusing

a lot on my mental health and like keeping a

balance between work in school.

So I still make sure that I do things for

myself and not everything is just about school so that

I don't get too stressed out or worried about things.

And I can still do things for me and have

fun. So currently, my views air kind of all over

the place, but I thought I'd just highlight a couple

of things.

Um, throughout this semester, basically, Like I said earlier, I've

just been learning about, like, taking care of myself and

making sure that, you know, like being at home isn't

gonna take that much of a toll on me even

if I'm not living the life that I used to

be living, you know, like traveling and doing all that

fun stuff like I can still find ways toe, enjoy

being at home and and like spending time with my

family and stuff like that and Also, I kind of

wanted to talk about like my world views because I

think those have kind of changed, like this semester, Just

kind of thinking about, like, what kind of impact I'm

having on society and like what my purpose is in

the world.

I've been trying to kind of figure it out.

I mean, it's a pretty daunting question, but, you know,

just kind of thinking about it makes me wonder what

I want to do and like what my interests really

are. And that kind of leads me.

Thio, you know that picture on the left there that

just like the confusion that I'm currently having, like even

with school, like, I don't really know what I'm what

I want to study or what you know, job I

even wanna have in the future.

But I guess you know the whole part of living

life is that in time I'll figure everything out and

it will be okay.

Honestly, this course has helped me a ton.

Um, it's taught me a lot about organization and like

making sure that I'm keeping all my classes straight and

stuff because when I first started like blackboard was really

confusing, And I was really worried that I would miss

an assignment or like something would pop up and I

would get it like I would get Thio professor late

and so that was kind of worrisome.

But I was able to, you know, figure it out

and like seeing that other people were also in the

same boat as me was really helpful.

And also, I, like, tell this course focus a lot

on like mental health because I don't think that I

took as much of it into account as I do

now because, you know, schools to like, honestly, be my

number one priority and, like, I would wake up in

the morning and like, I would go straight just, like

do school and everything and, like, I didn't really take

that much time for myself to like, kind of reflect

on how I was doing.

So I think that this course definitely helps me to

make that adjustment.

Also, I think it's definitely helped me do like well,

in all my course and stuff and like set goals

and like, you know, I use like a planner and

stuff just to like, make sure I'm on track of

everything and like to make sure I get good grades

about end of semester.

Uh, yeah, I think it's definitely helped me with all

that stuff.

So my future hopes and expectations are too, you know,

probably make some friends eventually.

Hopefully, I can get on campus at some point.

I'm already know that's not gonna be happening next semester,

unfortunately. But, you know, hopefully at some point I can

get out there because I'd really like Thio, you know,

join clubs and, like, do club sports and stuff like

that. And I know that it is offered online and

stuff, but I just don't think it's the same like

seeing someone face to face and getting to experience that

stuff like hands on.

So I really hope that I'm able to do that

in the future.

And just like, you know, overall see myself grow as

a learner and as a person and that, um, you

know, throughout whatever I want to study, whatever I decide

that I want to do that, I really enjoy it.

And it's something that I'm gonna wanna wake up every

day and continue learning more about it.

I think I kind of went into college with the

expectation that I had to have everything figured out right

away. But, you know, I think I'm kind of growing

to accept that it's okay that I don't exactly know

what I want to dio.

I mean, it's a good, like college is a good

place toe, you know, explore things and, like, take different

courses and figure out what I really want to dio.

So with that knowledge that I have now, I think

I'm much more ableto approach college and more calm manner.

So, yeah, that's under my presentation.

Thank you so much for listening on.

Yeah, thanks.
