KARINA
MONTOYA
Interdisciplinary
studies major from Oak Ridge High School in Spring
UNT
ties: My sister, Kathy Montoya, is a senior photography
major at UNT.
Favorite
memory from freshman year: I enjoyed getting to meet so
many new people and going on retreats. I especially liked going
on a retreat called Link, through an organization called College
Life. We rode on a banana boat and played out on the lake.
Most
surprising thing about freshman year: Everyone was so friendly,
and it was incredibly easy to make friends. It was harder at times
than I had expected it to be, but more fun than I had expected too.
Hardest
thing about living in the residence hall: Sometimes it
was just too hard to get any time to spend by myself because there
were constantly people calling or knocking on the door, which was
mostly good, but once in a while I wanted to be alone.
Best
thing about having a roommate: I love the late-night talks
that we shared, and just hanging out together. She’s one of
my best friends now, and it was nice always having someone to go
to the cafeteria with.
Lowest
point of freshman year: Second semester was pretty hard,
trying to balance grades, friends, ministry and everything else.
But, it was also a pretty low point in October when my grandma got
sick.
Missed
most about home: My parents.
Favorite
class: Stress Reduction Through Movement.
Favorite
spot on campus: The hill in front of Bruce Hall, where
the Music Building is.
Least
favorite spot on campus: Being parked under any tree when
all the birds are around, or being afraid to sit or walk under any
tree.
Favorite
thing to do on campus: Hang out with friends or check my
mail.
Favorite
book: The Bible.
Favorite
meal in the cafeteria: Chicken strips.
Favorite
way to take a break from studying: Hang out with friends.
Go downstairs and see what everyone is up to. Play Mafia.
Best
advice about getting through freshman year: My sister told
me to introduce myself to all of my professors the first day of
class.
Most
important lesson learned: Pray!
Look
forward to most for sophomore year: Living at Clark, ministry
and getting to know more people and my new roommate.
