Olivia Humphries
I am a sophomore that plans to major in Information Technology with a minor in Security and Risk Analysis. I intend to graduate from Penn State Abington.
In my free time, I like to read, go out to eat and try new restaurants, go shopping, and watch cheesy romantic comedy movies.
My advice to you, being as I am a first-generation college student, is it is normal for college to not feel “natural.” I came in as undecided and was confused about my passions. Throughout my first-year classes I found what subjects my strengths were in. So, base your major on your strengths and you will never get bored!

I like listening to podcasts, doing yoga, and reading.
My advice to you is to seek and use resources on campus. As you are new to the college experience, there are plenty of resources available to help you get the information you need. You might use certain resources more than once, so be sure to familiarize yourself with them
