However, it can also be one of the scariest, most intimidating, and overwhelming times of a person's life. And so, as I embark on my senior year of college at Regis, I come to you all with some pieces of advice that are realistic to achieve, and that will help you manage this new environment while keeping your sanity in check. So, let’s begin!
