\”Having a wishbone is having all your desires, dream, goals, and those are what will allow you to explore and find passions. You need a backbone to push you through the not-so-great times even when it seems like nothing is working out your way or how you planned. And a funny bone, college is such an incredible time with so many moments that you will look back and laugh about.\”
\”My main goals in college were to develop professionally and intellectually. I can confidently say that I was able to accomplish both goals during my time here at Chapman.\”

Just say yes… It\’s okay if you end up not liking something, but you can\’t say you don\’t like it if you\’ve never tried it.
Be prepared for things to not go how you thought they would.
It takes around 20 hours to become good at something, but it takes people years to start the first hour. Whatever you want to do, don’t overthink, just start.
Find the spaces and people that make you feel like you, don’t force yourself to fit in, some place and some people will accept you just the way you are.
The people you meet along the way make all the difference!
Getting involved is crucial…I know it is hard to branch out, but once I did I felt much more connected with the community at Chapman.
Never lose sight of why you started and what you are working towards.
Always cherish those late-night study sessions, hanging out in the piazza or in AF, or those spontaneous adventures with your friends at 1 in the morning because it will all be over in a blink of an eye.
College is an incredible time to explore your passions and find one\’s true interests.
