Major: Brain and Behavioral Sciences Year: Junior About Me: I love to help others and volunteer on my free time especially if it relates to mental health. I also enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my bunny! College Success Tip: Time management is key for college success. Try to manage your time either by making a list at the beginning of the week for important test, papers or study time or putting it in your phone's calendar if you use your phone a lot. Having great time management leads to finishing things early, being prepared for exams, and having less stress since you're not doing things last minute. |
