“The best advice that my mom has given me? Oh man, there’s a lot. Probably the number one thing would be to go out and actually do things. I’m overall an introverted person. I like my alone time, but to actually get out and go talk to people is good, because there are a lot of people like you that want to have good conversations.”– Caleb Donaldson ‘16
“Experience everything. It’s over quick. You’ll want to come back here and want to do this all over again; the real world is real close. Try everything you can while you’re here. You’re not going to have the same job, most likely, so if something interests you, try it. It’s the one time in your life that you don’t have to really think about. Everything else after that, there’s always something else. You’re going to have a mortgage and bills. Now, right now, it’s about you, and doing what makes you happy.”– Ginger Donaldson, academic evaluator and mother of Caleb Donaldson
