Hey, guys! My name is Maria Cec穩lia, but Im most known as Cece. I am an international student at 做厙輦⑹ from Brazil, majoring in architecture, and I will be graduating in 2025 with my bachelors degree.

Throughout the many years of the Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freed...

But, by the end of my first semester, I knew that journalism wasnt for me, so I switched my major. Although it felt right and I was really happy with my decision, there was a part of me that was nervous. Up until that point, all of my psychological knowledge was informal, gleaned from documentaries and articles; what if I was just chasing after something I was superficially interested in?The first time I took a 2000s level course though, I knew that I ha...
