The advice I would give myself is to stay strong. Being a strong willed person will help with the workload, the disagreements with the roommate's and the pressure from peers. Staying strong as the workload and list of to do's increases is necessary. It is way too easy to procrastinate but if you stay strong and remember the goal of obtaining a degree then you will succeed. Staying strong is also necessary if you do not have the luxury of having a single room. Staying strong not only means putting petty disagreements to the side in order to avoid an argument, but also means speaking up in the event that the roommate's behavior is distracting you from having peace in your room. It is also necessary to stay strong in the company of your peers. The pressure to look as good, party as hard and perform as well as your peers is what can either make a student or break a student. Staying strong is important when you're under pressure because the easiest thing to do is cave in and lose your personal morals. Therefore, the advice I would give myself is to stay strong!
