“I’m a returning student. Last semester I enjoyed much smaller classes in comparison to the bigger ones. I’m not a fan of those but all my grades went okay. Soon I want to be able to work for The Collegian since I’m an MCJ major. Probably junior year. That’s probably my goal. Not this year, but I’ll try.” –Mario Bowen, MCJ major “I’m a new student. Some of my goals at Fresno state is to try to be involved with school when it comes to spirit and have a good GPA for my classes. Use what the school gives us. For example, SI [supplemental instruction] sessions. I really like those. Just being more involved in school and taking advantage of what they offered us.” –Jaquelin Vazquez, Pre-nursing major “I’m a returning student. I was really, really busy last semester. I was taking about 6 classes and had an internship. It was a crazy semester. I learned my lesson not to overdo it. This semester I’m taking less classes and I’m not doing an internship. Right now most of my classes are on Tuesday and Thursday and I’m spending a little more time on campus to get homework done. It’s tough to get things done.” –Armando Carreno, MCJ major “I am a returning student. My last semester was pretty rough, I’m not gonna lie. So I’m hoping this semester I’m gonna do a lot better. Just try to focus more on school and not get distracted with other things, pretty much.” –Saul Solorio, Business Marketing major
