“The college process for me was a lot of work, but I spaced it out well and I was really organized so it was not stressful. I really enjoyed researching each college to figure out where I would fit in best. I am excited to be on my own, meet new people, and experiencing new things to figure out what i truly love to do, not what others tell me to do. I’m super excited and it’s going to be a great experience. I’ve been looking forward going since freshman year. I’m scared to get home sick for the first time and be in a place I’m not familiar with as well as rooming with someone that I don’t know.”

Around this time of year, seniors are going through the college process. The Catalyst members are asking seniors of Notre Dame how the college process has been like and if they are excited to leave home next year. In this interview NDB senior, Alexis Messersmith, reflects on the college application process and leaving home next year.
