Cheers to another amazing semester! GO BEACH!

Don’t Be an Insomniac, Get Some Sleep! The earlier you get started studying, the less chance you’ll need to survive all-nighters later on. The connection between a lack of sleep and studying becomes a vicious cycle: less sleep causes trouble remembering material, leading to anxiety and more trouble sleeping, and so on. GOOD LUCK 🍍

A Rotary Global Grant Scholarship is a life changing opportunity that takes you on a beautiful journey of growth, education, and service. It opened more doors than I could imagine but to be a part of the Rotary community is the biggest reward of all”.
