The classes and Professors/Doctors; especially the Behavior Evolution and Social Traits (BEST) Lab!

I won't be missing SCSU, as I'm coming right back in the Fall for SCSU's Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) program!
Advice to Incoming Students
Any incoming student to SCSU has made the best decision of their life, as SCSU is the best University to attend. The only advice I have to give is that college is what you make of it; you don't need the perfect plan, you just need to learn you. It isn't just about the content and material; the morew you figure out yourself, the more everything else gets easier. "Half-done early" assignments beat " 'perfect' last minute" assignments; procrastination compounds stress way faster than you expect. Lastly, one of the most underrated "cheat codes" to college is to actually attend your professors/doctors office hours; it could open doors for improving your understanding, reccommendations, research opportunities, and so much more.

Advice to Incoming Students
Staying resilient, there may be times during a semester/course/life where things may be difficult and not going to your original plan, but it is important to continue in what you believe in and look forward to the result of your work.
