This month's Spotlight features Megan, a former Global Studies major who is now on a life-long adventure, capturing stories from around the world through journalism and photography.
Megan, on the best thing she did as an undergrad:
"I trusted my gut. There's so much noise coming from the outside about who you should be and what you should do. That includes soceity, family, friends, and people you look up to. Truth is, it's incredibly hard to tune out all the shoulds and all the naysayers to just listen to what calls you, but it's also absolutely necessary to create a life that aligns with your true self, not the self designed to meet the expectations of others."
