GRADUATION Q+A || reflections on the university of chicago and our experiences there

Karina and I got together to reflect on our senior year at UChicago and it was such a good way to look back at the advice we’ve been given, the courses we’ve taken, the RSOs we’ve participated in, and the experiences we’ve had while in college. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed filming it together!!
