My name is Samantha Barnett
Hi, I’m Samantha! As I finish up my college years and prepare to step into the professional world, I’m here to share my authentic experiences navigating this exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) transition. This space is where I reflect on what it’s like to balance student life with preparing for the next big chapter.

Through my stories, insights, and reflections, I aim to provide an honest look at the challenges, lessons, and small victories along the way. Whether you're also in college or gearing up for life after, I’m excited to share this journey with you.

Join me as I explore what comes next, sharing it all with honesty, enthusiasm, and a bit of humor!

More About Me
I’m currently a fifth year college student at James Madison University with a passion for understanding how things work, particularly in the realms of analytics and logistics. My dream is to land a role in a government agency—one of those exciting three-letter organizations—where I can dive deep into data, solve problems, and make an impact. Beyond academics and career aspirations, I’m someone who thrives on balance. I love spending time with family and friends, whether it's enjoying a home-cooked meal I prepared or catching a game. I also enjoy journaling; it helps me reflect and stay grounded, while cooking and sports are my favorite outlets for creativity and staying active. I’m driven by curiosity and a love for discovering the inner workings of the world around me. Whether through numbers, patterns, or processes, I’m eager to apply my skills in meaningful ways as I transition into the professional world.
