Senior Interviews

So for this assignment, I interviewed my two cousins Ryan and Cole. Ryan is a chemistry major and Cole is double majoring in history and Spanish. When I sat down and talked to them, they both had very different and some of the same advice to give me.

Ryan told me all about majoring in what I want to do and to get ahead of the game by planning on what to do first. He told me that if I knew what I wanted to do early on, I could get my foot in the door earlier. He also explained to me the importance of studying hard and that college is work. He told me If I want to do good I need to be prepared to work for it and that I need to stay on top of my assignments.

Cole told me that knowing my major straight off the bat wasn’t that important, he expressed to me the importance of experiencing college. He told me that studying was extremely important, but that I need to look at every possible thing that I might want to do, its apparently important so I don’t regret any of my choices academically throughout college. He also told me how important it was to keep myself from breaking down and to make sure I wasn’t always uptight about my grades.

In the end, I learned from both of my cousins that I need to study hard if I want to do well in college, and that staying on top of my work will always help me out. I asked both of them what they would have one differently throughout their time in college, and they both pretty much said they wouldn’t do anything differently. They only said they would have tried to do as many events through college as possible and told me not to squander my time here.
