What would you tell your freshman self?

I would tell my freshman self to get out there. Make friends and memories wherever you are. Networking is essential for individual growth. In addition, time management was a key part of my success and I wish I knew this sooner. It can be overwhelming to try and be involved with multiple clubs and opportunities, but it’s better to start sooner rather than later. Most importantly, find time for yourself. Your mental health should always be the number one priority. Never give up on what you strive to be in life.
