My advice for A&S students: This is your life! Take responsibility for yourself and your actions. It is ok if you do not have a clear path for your future because most of us have changed directions more than once in our lives. What is important is that you do not lose yourself in the process and that you make good choices on your journey. Have confidence; be strong; and don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

My advice for A&S students: Enjoy your time in college and don't rush into anything. If you have an idea what you want to major in and pursue as career, by all means follow your ambitions. If you do not know what you want to do, don't rush into a major or program of study for the sake of finishing in four year. Better to take an extra semester and be happy later on in life than realize you are unhappy with what you are doing fifteen years after school. Also, do not be afraid try new subjects and remember just because you didn't like a subject in high school, doesn't mean you wont like it in college.

I encourage all students to believe in themselves, believe in their dreams and enjoy the ride, because it's over before you know it. Everything you want is right in front of you, keep moving forward. Much Love #110.
