Here are some of our favorite quotes below.
Get involved.
“Get involved as much as you can. Join clubs and organizations that interest you. If you like to write, get involved with the campus newspaper. If you like to dance, get involved with the campus dance team. Join organizations that are beneficial to your field of study.”
Prioritize.
“Prioritize your time and your to-do list. Put those things that are more important at the top of your list. Manage your time wisely and never take on what you cannot handle.”
Have fun!
“Be spontaneous. Try new things. Meet new people. Eat at new restaurants. Be adventurous. Never sell yourself short. College is what you make it and it is up to you to make it the best ride you have ever been on!”
