Spark Notes of the Dos and Don’ts From a Graduating Senior

Do
Get a job on campus
Make friends with the faculty – I love our faculty
Listen to upperclassmen – they will tell you what classes to absolutely not take (AGEC 450)
Spend time in the CRC – that is where you will make friends, get tips on classes, and meet faculty
Get an internship – I’d start field scouting
Join a club that is different from your major – do it just for fun or explore
Find a way to travel – I have some of my best memories from traveling
Spend time off-campus – go to dinner with friends or go explore
Join a team – Crops Judging Team, Soils Judging Team, Livestock, etc.
Take the bus – it is really convenient (if it is on time)

Don’t
Always focus on class – sometimes you need to have some fun and that paper can wait
Overcommit – this isn’t high school – you cannot be involved in 8 clubs without going crazy
Always stay on campus – find a healthy balance
Live in the dorms all 4 years – living off-campus teaches independence
