“1. Keep taking on new challenges. I learned almost as much from my extracurricular activities and student jobs as I did from my undergraduate degree.
2. Mental health is important. Take care of yours and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
3. If you want to go to graduate school or a post-secondary program, it’s usually important to make sure you keep your marks up. You may not be thinking about this in first or second year, but it never hurts to try and keep those doors open in future.
4. If something is not working, don’t be afraid to switch programs. I did that after second year and it was a great decision for me.

 A lot of the relationships, ideas, and schools of thought I was exposed to during my undergraduate studies have stayed with me throughout my professional and personal life after graduation. I’ve had many career shifts but feel very lucky to be able to pursue my passion. I just had to be brave enough to follow it.
