For this semester's First Friday Focus, we follow a day in the life of Ashwin Laksumanage, a Junior at Penn studying Economics and Philosophy. Glynn and Ashwin talk about finding experiences that make each person's Penn journey unique, and the winding road to understanding your passions in a seemingly infinite world of options. With a busy schedule of classes, clubs, and research, Ashwin shares how he creates balance in his life, showing that being a self-starter can coexist with self-care.
