What are 3 things you learned at Columbia and would like to share with the Class of 2023?

1. You’ll never be able to do every single reading and assignment for every class all the time. Prioritize what interests you and put your effort into that.

2. Tend to your friendships. Take care of each other. This place can be nuts and you need other people to survive.

3. Eat vegetables… and no, pizza doesn’t count as a vegetable. But also eat a lot of pizza – Famiglia > Koronet.
