Find balances in life, work hard and find your
joy in life.
Onward!
– Ron Swanson
Don’t be afraid to be the nerd in the room. The
last thing you want is to finish up your degree
realizing you have no competitive edge over
your classmates. Be strong in who you are and
don’t let peer pressure waiver your ambition.

ADVICE FOR ADD/ADHD PEOPLE(Because others are gonna cover general pretty
well probably.)
● Make todo lists and put them where you're going to see them. Reduce the amount of time required to find the info so you reduce the chance of getting distracted while looking. I recommend on your door or notebook.
● Don't be afraid to ask professors to repeat stuff when you space out. Just be polite. Alternatively, go to office hours instead.
● Take notes. It helps stave off space outs.
● Medication it totally fine; go to your doctor so you can get the proper dose. Please don't take too much and feel awful!
● Sometimes getting up and to walk off the jitters is all you need to concentrate.
GENERAL ADVICE
● Eating regularly does wonders for your brain.
● Every ice cream container is one serving no matter the size of the container.
● Compliment people. If it's truthful, it makes them happy. Don't worry about looking weird.
● Always work to become the best you.

Take your dreams and hold on to them tenaciously and soon you will see
that through hard work, they will become a reality. In college, you will
be faced with adversity, triumphs, victories and pit-falls. Yet, the
approach that you take in the situation will foreshadow your outcome. As
times get tough, elusive thoughts will arise that will try to derail you
from achieving what you have dreamed of accomplishing. But you will
know better than to succumb to such a thought, right? You will adhere
to the little voices in your head that tell you to persist and carry on, as
times such as these are not permanent. This thing called life is not easy,
and often times we will experience defeat or failure. But in experiencing
defeat or failure, it does not make you a failure. If we don’t produce the
proper results then that’s all, but never confuse who you are for the
results that you have produced. Always do what you can, with what you
have, and NEVER be satisfied. There will always be times where life
challenges your dream, but if you just hold on, the universe will be on
your side. You must act on your dreams and act on your fears because
life is too short. So begin to manifest your destiny and begin to live life
on your terms. LIVE YOUR DREAM.

Kingsley Ike BS in Industrial Engineering
December 2016
Minor in Applied Mathematics
Future Plans
I plan to be working in industry starting in January.
I believe I will be working as an engineer at Samsung Semiconductor in Austin.
Advice
Don’t forget what you came to college for!
Put yourself in a position to succeed; don’t procrastinate and remove the distractions.
College isn’t just about learning in the classroom; it’s also about learning who you are as a person; discover yourself.
Try to get as much experience in your field of study as you can - for example, research and internships.
It’s okay if you decide to take another path in your career or in life, no matter what it is, as long as it’s the choice that
you truly believe will make you happy!

Future Plans: I will attend graduate school at the Johns Hopkins University
School of Medicine as a part of their 2020 class. I will be pursuing a M.D.
and intend to specialize in Intensive Care to conduct clinical research in this
field. Coming from a Hispanic background, I hope to give back to my com-
munity and help combat health disparities through this career.
College Experience

Major: Biochemistry Minor: Writing
Advice
Find what you are passionate about and do it! We are often given a list of requirements for success, but interviewers are more interested in time we give towards our passions over time we give to things expected of us. Don’t pass on opportunities to network. From across our university to at conferences, you never know what connections will impact your future regardless of major or career. Be happy. Always make time for you. Interviewers look for happy people to help build happy environments!

Advice
Laugh and enjoy life because it’s too short to stress over.
There is a time for working hard and a time for fun, Learn when to apply them adequately.
College isn't about getting good grades all the time; it’s the part of life where you will begin to develop who you are and who you will become.

Nathan Russell
Electrical Engineer: Computer Engineering
School Activities o Bobcat Village Resident Assistant o Digital Logic Teaching Assistant o Society of Woman Engineers, President, Treasurer o Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Member o Honors College o H-LSAMP
Internships o Robotics Research and Development, Dow Chemical o Information Systems, Dow Chemical o Functional Post Silicon Class Testing, Intel
Recommendations - Study Abroad! College is the only time you can do it for so long and so cheap.
- Go to career fairs and work hard to land yourself an internship, the first one is the hardest to get.
- Explore all options but don’t compromise what you have in doing so.
- Be the best at whatever you do, and always surround yourself with people who are better.
- Remember all of your schooling! Even though 80% of careers might not need you to remember much, you never
know when you’ll find yourself in the 20% that need it all.
(I never thought I’d end up on a team at Intel practicing exactly what I learned in college)
- Don’t wait until the end of the semester to find an internship or job, and don’t expect anything until you’ve signed
on the dotted line.
(I say this from experience after struggling to get my full time position and having a letter of intent retracted.)
