Words of Wisdom:

1. The formulas, concepts, and other information you will learn in university are of course important, but my one piece of advice is to focus on how you learn, rather than what you learn. You need to go into university accepting that you will never know all there is to know, and so one of the key skills you can have is the ability to “know what to do when you don’t know what to do”.

2. Your GPA is important, but it is equally important to take the time to build meaningful relationships with people who can help you achieve more than your academic goals.
