Bottom Line Memory: While having a tough time during finals, I remember receiving a Bottom Line care package in the mail. At the time, my advisor wrote me a personal note that lifted my spirits. It was what I needed at the time to regain my confidence. I will never forget that moment.

If I could send a care package, I’d fill it with: Candy, personal notes and more snacks!

Why I stay involved with Bottom Line: Because my success wouldn’t have been possible without their encouragement and support.

People would be surprised to learn that I used to: Live on campus my freshmen year of college. I literally live two blocks away from Northeastern. I really wanted to experience the college life.

The BEST part of being a college graduate is: Starting my next phase in life. I am now able to focus on things that interest me. I have decided to pursue a Master’s in School Counseling and will graduating in 2014. I can’t wait!

The HARDEST part about being a college graduate is: Finding the time to balance work and my social life. It is tough but it is nice to be able to prioritize fun things in my busy schedule.
