What would you tell your freshman self?
Seek to create balance in your life. Yes, it is important to study and work hard, but make sure you enjoy your time in college as well, because it goes by so quickly! Get involved on campus. Join clubs that interest you so that you can meet others with similar interests. It makes the transition to college better, and helps with making friends. Being a pre-health student can be difficult, but using your resources wisely (meeting with pre-health advisors and speaking with pre-health ambassadors) and making a plan of study will make your life so much easier…I promise.
