• “Covid-19 has changed my perspective on life and education in a lot of ways. It has helped me understand the importance of trying to be as best prepared for unprecedented circumstances, as well as how fast life can change on you. Also, it’s very important to not take the days that I live lightly and to make a more worthwhile attempt at being the best version of me should it be my last day on this planet. While my perspective has changed quite a bit, I have tried to maintain good habits during all of this. I don’t want to get in the habit of not being motivated. Once everything goes back to normal, if I am not motivated to do work at the current moment, it will be hard to flip the switch once this peculiar stage of life passes by. Because of this, I have been exercising a lot and trying not to sleep in past normal hours so that I will be able have a good transition back to normal. Another thing I have been trying to do while social distancing is picking up old hobbies I hadn’t been able to do because of the speed my life was going at.” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberState #ConnectWithWeber #Covid19

  • “Overall, the summer semester is going great! I try to get everything done during the week and have the weekends off and I really like that schedule. I've never taken summer classes before so I am just taking two this summer semester to shorten my class load for the fall and spring semesters and graduate on time! A struggle that I have with online classes is remembering to give them my full attention even though it is summer. One difference I see in this summer semester versus spring 2020 semester is that there are weekly emails with what should be done and learned for each week. I feel as though both my professors are keeping Canvas very organized and it's easy to understand what is expected week by week. I didn't get that kind of organized communication in the spring which made it a little more challenging. ” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberState #ConnectWithWeber #SummerSemester

  • “This is a pretty unique and exciting time for me. I was elected as student body president right before spring break. We only had four days of in person classes and interactions after my election before moving online. This makes for a pretty unique transition into a major leadership role on campus and an exciting time for me to learn to be more adaptable and a stronger leader. It has forced us as student leaders to find more creative and innovative ways to support our fellow students and help them through this crisis. If there is one major lesson I have learned through all this, it’s the difference between MOTIVATION and DISCIPLINE. Doing things when I’m motivated is easy! In contrast, when I feel unmotivated, it’s like pulling teeth to get stuff done. One thing that has helped is taking small steps and doing a little bit at a time. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, but if I can get one thing done or give myself a time limit, it feels so much more doable. During this year, things are pretty chaotic and times are unprecedented. As we approach fall semester with uncertainty, I am committed to providing what we can for the student body and going above and beyond to support my fellow Wildcats during this time. Weber State is staffed with people who've got your back and are working hard to provide the best education and experience for you. You have a whole university by your side! I would encourage everyone to continue their education and keep moving forward toward their goals. Sign up for fall and spring! This is the perfect time to work hard on your education. We will come out of this pandemic, and when we do we will be stronger and be more qualified to contribute to communities. Times are crazy and historic, but we are capable because Wildcats are unstoppable.” #StudentsOfWeber #ConnectWithWeber #WeberState #WSUSA

  • To apply for federal aid, such as federal grants, work-study and loans, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and easier than ever. It gives you access to the largest source of financial aid to pay for college or career school. In addition, many states and colleges use your FAFSA information to determine your eligibility for state and school aid, and some private financial aid providers may use your FAFSA information to determine whether you qualify for their aid.

  • “It has been a great year serving the Wildcat community, and I am truly a different, better person for it. The most amazing part of being president during this pandemic was figuring out the logistics to provide resources. We were able to completely transition our efforts from in-person to a virtual format. We gave out hundreds of dollars to students in-need. We offered grocery store gift cards, Amazon gift cards, GrubHub gift cards - anything that could directly benefit students during this time of confusion. It was great to see the responses and engagement from the student body. They made it worth it and really brought hope that we are all Wildcats. This next year, I have enrolled for my last year in the Master of Education, higher education leadership program. I plan on working full-time as the new student orientation program advisor at Weber State University and attending school. I know that after this pandemic, I am still going to have the constant reminder of graduation. That is why I’m not delaying anything! My biggest motivation for online classes has been to remember that this is all temporary! If you are a student that LOVES face-to-face, don’t let that discourage you. Your goal has not changed: graduation. So, push through these tough times for the better times, am I right? These times are uncertain and scary, but so are most things we encounter during our lives. Finding Nemo depicted this message the best: ‘Just keep swimming’ Wildcats!” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberState #WSUSA

  • “Of course I am walking in August! Who would not want to walk and show their pride for surviving what has been the craziest semester of their life?! Not only that, but I am walking for every single person that has supported me in getting to this point. I am walking to show the world that I made it. I am so grateful for the people that I've met, the places I’ve traveled and the lessons that I have learned. Even though I am a graduate, I realize that I am never done learning. Every moment in life has something you can learn from, and it is important to pay attention because time flies by so fast. A piece of advice I would give to wildcats is to keep telling yourself that you are almost there, and eventually you will be. It’s okay to keep your eye on the end goal. However, don't forget to take a few moments to appreciate where you are and how you got there.” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberState #ConnectWithWeber #Graduation2020

  • “I feel ready for what’s next in life Being a graduate, I have the confidence to take on the next part of my journey. I’m looking forward to spending more time with my family and traveling. School has taken up a majority of my time, so it’ll be nice to get to do things I haven’t had the chance to do because my focus was on school. Some of the most challenging parts of my path to graduation have included being a first-generation college student and coming from a single parent household. I sometimes had to do things on my own like filling out FAFSA, applying to college, etc. However, this never stopped me from achieving my goals. I’m majoring in Criminal Justice with an emphasis in Juvenile Justice and I am so excited! Even though graduation isn’t right now, I will be walking in August. I’m a first-generation college graduate, which is a big thing for my family. They are all excited about me finishing, so you bet I want to celebrate my accomplishment by walking! One piece of advice I would give to other Wildcats working on graduating is life doesn’t stop for a college student and it gets hard at times, but you are capable of doing hard things. Keep pushing!” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberState #ConnectWithWeber #Graduation2020 #CongratsGrads

  • “The unknown is hard. Not knowing what to look forward to or plan for is challenging. The anxiety of being home all of the time, not knowing if my mom who is an ER nurse (now doing case management) is going to have to go back to the bedside and potentially bring a deadly virus home to me, having asthma, and my 80-year-old cancer survivor grandmother. In today’s climate I am extremely fearful for my health and my family's health. I am also fearful of the norm of the fall semester being changed because I do so look forward to it. Football games are my favorite thing! It is hard not being able to be with my WSUSA team and bond. I miss being on campus so much that I have a newfound respect for my education. . With all of this stuff happening, I am still trying to stay positive through it all. I am very grateful for my health. I am grateful that my mom has a secure job and that I have been able to continue working. My perspective on life has changed drastically. I definitely think I will come out of this more grateful. ” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberState #ConnectWithWeber
