My name is Stephanie Anne and I am a Sophomore here at UNCW, double majoring in French and Communications! I decided to come to UNCW because of how beautiful the campus is; we have such pretty green grass and beautiful flowers, its hard not to appreciate mother nature. Thats why my favorite place to study on campus is outside, but when the weather isn't nice enough for that, I love studying in the clock tower lounge, upstairs in fisher. Its always so quiet, and there aren't many people. My favorite UNCW tradition is Beach Blast at the beginning of the fall semester. Students flood the beach soaking up the last bit of summer sunshine before classes start. My family is from Haiti, but I was born in New York; I moved to North Carolina when I was one, so I don't remember much about the city, but I go back to visit almost every year. My family speaks fluent french and my dream is to be as fluent as they are. Next spring i'll be studying abroad in Paris, France and I am so excited.. My favorite thing to do is travel! I don't always have the time to travel to other countries, but I take every chance I get to go on a road trip. My second favorite would be laughing! Laughter is the best medicine and it just makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Along with laughter comes the best memories; thats why I always make sure to surround myself with people who enjoy making others happy as I do. My piece of advice for you is to continue to laugh, and to always look for the good in others, showing them the greatness inside of you. This is my first semester as a link and I am excited to go on this journey with you all! My UNI class helped me survive my first semester in college and I want to continue that awesome legacy by helping you all get through yours. I look forward to getting to know you all and I know there are great things to come as we take this journey together.
XOXO,
Stephanie Anne Hilaire
