Many students in college are very eager to graduate and go out into the workplace. But, when the time comes you will realize that you will miss all the things Farmingdale had offered you in your years here. As each semester comes around, you fall into a routine, and after each semester you know that another one is just around the corner. It is a cycle until your last semester shows up, and it’s time for you to go into the real world. It is very strange to think about not returning to Farming...

What I love about FSC:
I love that everyone on campus is kind and friendly. I like that the professors are willing to take time to help their students. The campus is smaller, so it is easier to get around. The thing that I love the most is that the classes are small. It allows me to connect with my professors instead of being just a name on a piece of paper.
Campus Involvement:
Softball
Interest & Hobbies:
Softball, photography, art, traveling, and sports
The Things I Learned During My Time in College
To many seniors, during your last year you tend to look back and remember all of the
memories in college, all the good, the bad and everything in between. College is a time to learn,

things that I have learned during my time in Farmingdale. Here are just a few.
The first thing I learned in college is to put your school work first. College is a time to
have fun, hang out with...

Surviving the Library
As finals week comes to an end most of us have either spent many long days in the library or felt like we didn't spend enough time there. For some of us we were in the library longer than we were in our own homes. If you did not spend enough time there, no worries. Next semester you can spend more time, and you are going to need some tips. Being prepared is the essential key to being successful. This is why every student needs a guide to how to survive the library. (Insert Twilight Zone musi...

Surviving your first internship
Last summer I went on my first internship. I was very nervous but very excited. As a Medical Laboratory Tech student I experienced working in the hospital for the first time. I decided to do a practice run to the hospital, and met with the supervisor for the students. This eliminated most of my nerves. I was able to experience how nice everyone was, and I was able to get right to work the first day. All of the paperwork that I needed to fill out was done before I even started. My internship...

Softball Trip to Florida
On March 8th, 2016 every player on the Farmingdale State softball team woke up at around 4:30 am both tired and excited. Today was the day we were counting down for. Warm and sunny Florida was only a few hours away. I was very excited to go on my first softball tournament in Florida. The night before I made sure I had everything I needed for the trip. At 4:15 in the morning I woke up and got ready to leave, I checked that my softball sweatpants and t-shirt, to make sure that I looked decent. As ...
