15.  Tip #1: Don't be afraid to branch out and try new things this year. You have it in you to explore your resources and your opportunities on and off campus. Take charge of your education while still enjoying your time here at SDSU. Get involved, join a club, find a job, volunteer, go to your professor's office hours and get to know them, go Greek, explore our beautiful campus but most importantly make your time here at SDSU one to remember!!  Favorite Quotes: "Some of the best moments in life come from doing things that scare you."
