Say 'yes' to new w88 online live casino experiences

College of w88 online live casino graduate Hannah Hudson looks back on her time at the University and the lessons she's learned

“I don’t want to go to UNR, it's just going to be like high school all over again.” That is the sentence you would’ve heard leaving w88 online live casino mouth (followed by a bad attitude) if you had asked me how I felt about coming to UNR four and a half years ago. As a Reno native, I know this feeling speaks to a lot of other high school students from the Reno area as well. Going to UNR is just kind of an expectation... I mean it's a good school, great price, and it’s close to home, but EVERYONE I know goes there, what’s so cool about that? I was 18 and wanted a new environment with entirely new people and I wasn’t going to get that at UNR. I swallowed w88 online live casino disappointment as some of w88 online live casino friends flaunted their out-of-state acceptances and figured it would only be four boring years and then I could do something cool.

The good news? I couldn&w88 online live casino;t have been more wrong.

There have been countless highlights of w88 online live casino undergraduate career here at UNR and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share just a few of them with you, but I hope the biggest takeaway of it all is that you should always put yourself out there and say yes to new experiences, even if they scare you.

I began w88 online live casino journey at the LLC residence hall, even though w88 online live casino parents lived in the area they were kind enough to fund w88 online live casino living situation on campus, and let me tell you it made ALL the difference and I couldn’t recommend it enough even if you live only a few miles from UNR. Now I know what you’re thinking already “The LLC…isn’t that the academic dorm? The NERD dorm?” And to that I say, w88 online live casino bathroom was huge so I don’t care! But seriously don’t judge a book by its cover, although we all had amazing ACT scores, we also knew how to have a good time. I went with a random roommate selection for w88 online live casino first year, and trust me I am aware of the horror stories out there – but I definitely lucked out.

It was kind of scary to go outside of w88 online live casino comfort zone, particularly when I had the option to room with some of w88 online live casino high school friends, but I knew that if I wanted to make this experience different I would have to put myself out there. And I am so glad I did! w88 online live casino roommate quickly became (and still is) one of w88 online live casino best friends. We both participated in the NevadaFit program, another part of w88 online live casino freshman experience that I just cannot recommend enough.

I even met one of w88 online live casino other best friends on the first night of BizFit. It was so impactful that we both actually continued on to be NevadaFit mentors a few years after. I honestly just wanted to do it because I was able to move into w88 online live casino dorm early but it paid off because all of those awkward, grueling, forced, ice breakers actually helped me to meet tons of people, and by night 3 I knew almost everyone on w88 online live casino floor and got to spend time with students in w88 online live casino major that I would continue to see for the next four years. There were so many planned activities for all of the freshmen and as cheesy as some of them sounded I made myself go to all of them and I have some pretty great memories because of it.

This eventually led to w88 online live casino quick involvement in campus life. After testing the waters for a few weeks to see how w88 online live casino new college life was going, I realized I had so much more time than I did in high school to participate in quite literally anything I wanted. I eventually joined the intramural flag football team coached by w88 online live casino RA, ran for a position as the wing leader for w88 online live casino business floor in the LLC, and got accepted into the internship program for the ASUN judicial branch. This really helped me feel like a part of the campus community and it was nice to meet new people who shared the same passions as I did.

After a great experience in ASUN I decided toward the end of w88 online live casino freshman year to run for a position in the ASUN Senate, representing the College of Business. I was terrified, I was the only candidate out of 6 others who wasn’t in Greek life, and I was the only girl! After 6 long weeks of campaigning, painting w88 online live casino own signs in w88 online live casino dorm room (and trying to not stain the carpet), and talking to multiple clubs and organizations – I won first chair to represent w88 online live casino college! To this day, that remains one of w88 online live casino proudest accomplishments. I thought there was no way things could get better after that.

Again, I was wrong. (A constant theme I&w88 online live casino;m got used to)

w88 online live casino freshman year set me up for success throughout the rest of w88 online live casino time at UNR, I found w88 online live casino passion for leadership and service, and continued on to hold many positions within ASUN, Pre-Dental Society, Delta Sigma Pi, NevadaFit Program, and Blue Key Honor Society.

I was also able to realize w88 online live casino passion for traveling as I participated in the Nevada Global Business Program. Through this program (and the generous funding of w88 online live casino parents, thank you Mom and Dad!) I was able to travel to London, Singapore, Toronto, and Australia with w88 online live casino friends, all while getting credit for w88 online live casino upper division management courses. I would need much more than a 1000 word limit to truly explain the impact these trips had on me but to keep it short, those trips are some of the best life experiences I’ve ever had the privilege of doing.

Most importantly I discovered w88 online live casino interest for a career in the field of dentistry. I had finally discovered w88 online live casino purpose, and w88 online live casino “why”. Why I was going to school, why I had to push through hard classes and long nights filled with studying, tears, and venti Starbucks. I gained direction and was able to incorporate both science and business into w88 online live casino field of study to help pursue w88 online live casino dreams of becoming a dentist.

The rapid character development that I have experienced in w88 online live casino time here has been insane, but I am so thankful for it all. I have had w88 online live casino highest of highs and w88 online live casino lowest of lows in undergrad and through it all I have come out on top. I couldn’t be more proud to be a WolfPack Alum. And I wouldn't change w88 online live casino experience for the world.


After graduating here at UNR, and receiving her B.S in w88 online live casino Management, Hannah will be taking
a gap year before attending dental school. She hopes to shadow and assist during this time to
expand on her knowledge base in the field of dentistry. Hannah aims to educate others on the
importance of oral health, and build long lasting smiles that promote confidence in any individual!
