Praise Adekola

Devout coffee-drinking planner, always in a constant state of laughter

Hello hello! My name is Praise and I am a Junior here at the illustrious Tufts University. I am majoring in Biopsychology on the pre-med track. I was born in Nigeria but grew up living all over the east coast of the US and Canada. When I am not making to-do lists or time-blocking my schedule, you will probably find me jamming to the loml, Akon, or looking for new food to try. When people first meet me, I may come off as very introverted, but I loveeee to talk, make people laugh, and overall, just have a good time! I am so excited to share my ongoing journey on finding my community at Tufts, navigating academics, and balancing everything else in between.
