In the beginning of the year, I met many friends through my major. Throughout the year as I joined clubs, I made friends with people outside of my area of study and bonded through shared interests like speech, music, and activism. I knew that there were areas of my life that I needed to participate in no matter where I went to college. The first priority for me was finding a group that had to do with my cultural background. Through Mecha, a Mexican-American political union, I found peers who were interested in advocacy and were also looking to unify the Latine community on campus. My interest in music led me to Mariachi on campus where I found friends that really grounded me and brought me back to a fun environment when school became overwhelming.
