My favorite LSUA professor is Dr. Allen. There never has been and likely never will be a dull moment with this character of a chemistry lab professor. He is extremely dedicated to his job and also incredibly intelligent, not only this, but he is the most wildly hilarious person you will ever meet in your life. Never did I think my professor would imitate a scene of a drowning fish but I was hilariously proven wrong.
My advice to incoming students would be not to overload yourself. It’s easy to think a lot of the time that you’re not doing enough, but more often than not you are. Do not take yourself for granted, and know that the work you’re doing will pay off in the future, and that there are going to be a lot of rough times in college that everyone will go through, but ultimately they will pay off whenever you receive your degree. I would also say enjoy the journey. College will be some of your best memories if you let it.
My favorite campus tradition has to be trick or treat street. It is a public on campus event where all of our organizations create booths that students, children, parents, or whoever want to come may walk through to receive prize, candy, and awards. It is so much fun and I absolutely love the spirit that can visibly be seen in people during the event. It is so amazing and fun every single time.
The highlight of my college experience has really just been not a single event, but rather an accumulation of spending time with my best friend at numerous events on campus, but also just in every day on campus activities. The events on campus are such much fun and getting to be personable with your friends around you as well as your professors is such a uniquely fun experience. My personal favorite event is trick or treat street.
