What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I think I'll miss the overall feeling of being a student; learning new things from different classes; the excitement of the first day; the mid semester breakdown lol; the relief after finals are over etc,. I have been a student for over 5 years so it will feel weird for a bit to not have assignments due or a test to study for. I am looking forward to spending a summer soaking up the sun, hanging out with my family (without being worried about school in the back of my mind) and doing absolutely nothing :) !
Advice to Incoming Students
Surround yourself with people who have the same drive and dedication as you. Speak regularly to your advisor, they are SOOO helpful (shoutout to Dr. Bordner and Dr. Stiver, you guys rock!) Learn to manage your time efficiently. Misuse of time is your enemy. Enjoy the ride, it flies by fast. "It does not due to dwell on dreams and forget to live" -Dumbledore
