Advice for UofL Students- College is an open door of opportunities and a chance to have a new beginning—be sure to take the first step and explore. It can be scary and challenging, but always know you are not in this alone. Emerge yourself into the multitude of experiences, learn from your mistakes, give every aspect of your life 110%, and use your resources whenever you need them. Don’t fear failure, grow from it.

- Spending time with family and close friends; being outside (skiing, boating, hiking, running, etc.); patronizing local restaurants and businesses, especially since Louisville has so many wonderful and unique places to eat!
Advice for UofL Students- Take advantage of the options available to you in college! Whether that be free tutoring through REACH, different campus groups, or studying abroad (even if it’s a shorter trip), take advantage of these opportunities! If I could do my undergraduate experience all over again, I would be more involved on campus and would study abroad.
