What advice do you have for Harvard undergraduates, now that you’ve graduated?
Chase your passions and wildest dreams at Harvard (even if they may look really different from your peers’ paths or your family’s expectations of you), be open to transformation and change in unexpected or unusual or even uncomfortable places, take your classes seriously and go to your professors’ office hours (they’re lovely people), and follow your gut/instincts! Also, find mentors and people to walk you through college (especially if you’re a first-generation student), whether it be professors, leaders in a local community you join, or older students. And give back! Volunteering your time, resources, and talents can really make an impact — and often are the most meaningful experiences you’ll have at Harvard.
