Join as many clubs and organizations as you can! Even if it is something you are only vaguely interested in, just go to a couple of meetings – you never know who you might meet and you might really like it. You would find a new passion or interest that you wouldn’t have otherwise. - Samantha Martenstyn, Class of 2014, psychology major
