>> Take your studies seriously.
That's one thing I regret.
I was not the top notch student that I know I could have been
when I was here at University of Maryland.
Luckily, people who saw promise in-- in me and gave me opportunities to continue
in grad school regardless and I was able to excel there.
But take advantage of being a good student.
There's so much opportunity for people with high GPAs,
and if you're not taking those things seriously, you should.
Now, you'd also have to take the opportunities seriously of internships because there's a lot
of good students who have 3.5s and 4.0s that have volunteer experience, no work experience,
no internship experience, and then they also fall by the wayside.
So now you're dealing with a generation of students that you have the work doubly as hard
to make sure not only that you do well in school, but so you have a quality internship
in order to make yourself a valuable commodity in the job market.
