Advice :Don't be afraid to be bold and be you, this is the time when you find out who you really are and you should use this time wisely, for it comes to an end as swiftly as a blink. The time you have in college will be like no other in your life, you will have so many opportunities to explore a myriad of things...dabble in them all, it is better to know you don't like something than to never have tried it and not know, so be adventurous, even if being outside of your comfort zone can seem scary. Talk to everyone and make diverse friends in college, the relationships you forge now will likely stick with you for many years to come, especially when you befriend those also in your major. Even after you graduate and go to other companies you can still keep touch in regard to job opportunities, side projects, etc. Never underestimate the power of networking. Work hard, but remember to lift your head and breathe from time to time, be sure to enjoy moments with your peers and family. Love yourself, you are doing amazing!
