Newhouse may consider a Master's degree sometime in the future. For now, she will celebrate her completion by taking a breather to do nothing but breathe and recover. "I plan on not doing anything for the time being, just recovering, and having no thesis papers or assignments due for a while.," said Newhouse. "Maybe later I will think about taking a trip to celebrate my accomplishment."
