Okay.

00:00.541 --> 00:03.541
So I think that's something
that's really special about Rowland Hall

00:03.708 --> 00:07.500
in balancing
extracurriculars and academics

00:07.833 --> 00:13.041
is that after a certain point, they kind
of have to be pretty intertwined.

00:13.041 --> 00:15.500
Like, I would say, maybe somewhere around
junior year,

00:15.500 --> 00:18.416
it almost becomes more difficult
to not have extracurriculars,

00:18.416 --> 00:21.916
because a lot of what you pursue in
academics has to just do

00:21.916 --> 00:23.500
with what you're interested in.

00:23.500 --> 00:26.500
And that's something that I find
pretty amazing in that,

00:26.666 --> 00:29.541
it just kind of becomes
what you do in academics.

00:29.541 --> 00:34.208
Like in regards to,
if you're interested in African literature

00:34.208 --> 00:36.250
like I am,
I was having a conversation with Dr.

00:36.250 --> 00:37.625
Patel one time,

00:37.625 --> 00:40.875
and then just like a couple semesters
later, she went up to me like,

00:40.875 --> 00:45.666
we should start this course of just you,
and you can learn about African lit

00:46.000 --> 00:48.916
and write a paper,
and we can give it to this journal.

00:48.916 --> 00:50.250
And I was like, what?

00:50.250 --> 00:54.166
So I think that's sort of an example
of how my extracurriculars have been

00:54.166 --> 00:57.708
sort of integrated into the academics,
which is pretty awesome.
