“Never be afraid to ask questions. … I think when students come to college, they’re afraid to ask.”

“From the top of my head, the one that I remember [was] basically, ‘Don’t be too hard on yourself.’ On your work or whatever, if you tend to overthink, like, ‘Oh, maybe this is not good enough, maybe it’s not right.’ Honestly, besides overthinking, just ask for help. Asking for help is the best skill.”

“All I can think about is like keep doing what you’re doing. No matter what, keep on doing your best. That’s about it.”

“I would say [use] the campus resources.
Per my English professor, try to use as much of the resources as you can. For example, the counselors, TRIO and study hall in the library.”
