What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I'm gonna miss the professors I was privileged enough to learn from. They made getting my degree easier. I appreciate all the work and dedication they put into making me more knowledgable and caring about more than just the grades on my assignments. I am looking forward to furthering my education. Catch me with that Doctor title in a few years hehe
Advice to Incoming Students
You can do it. It's okay to cry at 3 o'clock in the morning because you have no idea what you wanna do with your life. It's okay to be confused and ask for help. It's okay to switch majors and start from scratch. What's not okay is neglecting your mental health. Don't let it consume you. Work at your own pace. Be great, and stay healthy. Si se puede. <3
