Jonathan Law Class of 2024 graduate Molly Simler is now a freshman at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania where she is majoring in Psychology. 

Although Simler dealt with some initial difficulties adjusting to college life, she has adapted quite well since then. 

“I am adapting better than I anticipated,” Simler said. “The beginning was definitely difficult and I still feel homesick sometimes, but I feel like I’ve adapted a lot more since the beginning.” 

Simler said she enjoys the freedom of living at college.

“I have liked the independence of being at college and meeting new people and making new friendships,” Simler said. “My favorite part of college is living on my own. Being in a different state and being independent is very rewarding.” 

While Simler has enjoyed college so far overall, she still misses her friends and family in Milford. 

“I struggle with being homesick,” Simler said. “Even though I enjoy college, I still miss home sometimes.”
