I’m starting my junior year at UK and to say it has flown by would be an understatement. There were a couple of semesters where I was unsure of my major, but thankfully I was constantly reassured by family, friends, and the folks at Appalachian Connection that I could do anything I set my mind to. I have decided on being a Political Science Major with a Minor in Appalachian Studies. I’m excited to be working with the Student Government Association as the Director of Promotions as well as a UK Athletics tutor!

An update from Danika- I’m a sophomore!
My first year of college was more difficult than I expected, not necessarily because of the difficulty of my classes, but because the difficulty I found in leaving the many great people I had met, and the town I had grown to love.
There is a significant amount of difference when I try to compare high school to college, I think because of the freedom that is offered in college. I had such compassionate, encouraging professors, which made the classes that much more enjoyable. I had always heard that professors wouldn’t care, which is simply not true. They are there and they want to help you, you just have to ask. I am majoring in psychology and I’m quite excited that I have been accepted into the McNair Scholars Program for undergraduates who plan on getting a doctoral degree in their major! I am excited about what my sophomore year at Eastern Kentucky University will bring.
