Advice to Incoming Students

It's okay if you're not sure what you want to do in the future, take your time. This isn't a race, so don't be too hard on yourself. You have to be confident in you and believe you can do it. You've made it this far, and that's something to be proud of. Trust yourself and do what feels right for you, not what others think you should do. When I started college, I thought I knew what I wanted, but I ended up changing my major several times and now I am graduating! Explore your interests, ask questions, and seek advice from alumni and professors. Get involved on campus, join clubs, attend events, and connect with others. It's a great way to grow, build your network, and enjoy the experience. Yes, study hard, but don't forget to have fun and live your life. Your college experience is what you make of it, so make the most of it. I'm proud of you. You've come a long way, and you're capable of amazing things! You will do great.
