College is about growing up, being accountable for my own actions.
Penn's curriculum forces me to explore different disciplines - which complicates my academic decisions.
I do not yet know what I’m going to major in, and the choices can be overwhelming. But part of growing up is struggling with choices, asking for help if I need it, and making my own decisions.
