April 27, 2022
Amanda Stevens
Where are you attending college?
I will be attending Otterbein University. I’m graduating from CSCC this May with my Associate of Science degree in psychology and I’m planning to finish my Bachelor of Science degree at Otterbein. I hope to pursue research in the field.
What are your major plans?
I don’t have any definitive plans, but I really want to keep playing violin during college. I also want to explore the dance program and journalism program.
What will you miss most about high school?
I’ll miss seeing teachers I’ve known for the last 3-4 years, and I think I’ll miss seeing familiar faces around me.
Advice for underclassmen?
My advice to underclassmen is: Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself or ask for guidance. Be intentional with your actions; if you want something, you have to make an effort to achieve it. If you’re more academically inclined, consider taking advantage of College Credit Plus.

I will likely join a few clubs that pertain to my interests, like Rough Cut Collective. I also anticipate playing some intramural sports.
What will you miss most about high school?
I’ll miss a lot of the people I have met in these four years, and I’ll miss living in Delaware.
Advice for underclassmen?
Just do what you enjoy. There’s no point in trying to please everyone, because you’re going to leave most of this behind in a couple years anyway. Find the things and the people you love and surround yourself with them.
