Jolie Pauls

How do you have fun in Humboldt County?

"Walking through the forest, soaking up the sun at the beach, going to the farmers market, laughing with friends and enjoying the local culture."

What has been your best experience at HSU?

"Allowing myself to open up to different people and challenging the things I thought to be true."

Have any tips for new students?

"My hopes for new students is that they will allow themselves to be pushed out of their comfort zones and change the things that hinder them from becoming an educated, compassionate and outspoken lover of this world. It's scary, but worth it."
