  13. Advice from Seniors Open Your Mind To New Possibilities • "Take chances and do something different and unexpected. Don't be afraid to get involved!” “To know the road ahead, ask those coming back” -Chinese proverb Ask For Help • "It is not a sign of weakness to ask for help - whether it be from a professor, a friend, or a staff member. I spent too much time trying to tough out situations that could have been easily solved had I not been to proud to ask for help.”

  14. Take Academics Seriously • "No matter how intelligent you are (or think you are), there's a subject out there that will humble you. Make sure you challenge yourself in your coursework, otherwise you're wasting your educational dollars.” Get To Know Your Professors • "The professors love when you seek them out for advice and help. It is part of the college learning process... They are much more helpful and friendly in a one-on-one setting." When Picking A Major… • "Don't choose a major just because you feel that you need one. Wait until you figure out what you want to do with your life.”

  15. Join An Organization • "I wish I had understood that getting involved in clubs, sports, volunteering or any other organizations REALLY helps your motivation. I found the more active I was, the happier and more complete I felt.” Start Planning For Your Career • "Sit down and think about exactly what you want to get out of college. Talk to professionals in the field you want work in. Ask them how they got there, where they see themselves down the road, what is a typical day like, etc. Find out what you plan to get out of your college experience.”

  16. Other Thoughts… • "Don't feel obligated to go out to parties to meet people or to be cool. Take advantage of TDU and all on campus events. They are tons of fun!" • "Be courteous to your roommate no matter what situation you find yourselves in. It will make your year go much smoother."
