Thinking back to your first-year at IUS, what advice would you give yourself?
I would tell myself to slow down. I know everyone says that and you think that it isn’t true but it is. I don’t feel like I’ve spent four years studying and taking tests even though I have worked my butt off, but it goes fast. Slow down, take it all in, you’re doing great.
