Be\u00a0faithful in the small things.\u00a0I recently heard someone say,\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s what you do every day that eventually shows.\u201d Whether it\u2019s taking an hour out of your day to encourage a friend or creating an overly detailed outline to make your\u00a0research paper stronger, take pride in the little things. You\u00a0don\u2019t have to have the rest of your\u00a0life planned out\u00a0\u2014 or even the next four years. Just focus on today. Whenever I feel overwhelmed my mom always asks,\u00a0\u201cHow do you eat a giant elephant?\u201d\u00a0And every time she\u00a0says, “One bite at a time.\u201d Focus on what\u2019s in front of you and find joy in the little\u00a0things\u00a0\u2014 you\u2019ll be glad you did.<\/div>\n

Dr. Glueck from the CMST department. I didn\u2019t have Dr. Glueck as a professor until my senior year of college and man do I wish I would have signed up for her classes sooner. Dr. Glueck truly loves and cares about her students and it shows. It\u2019s impossible to leave her class\u00a0feeling unnoticed.\u00a0I always leave her class\u00a0feeling inspired to reach out and encourage other\u00a0students on campus. If you\u2019re a young Warrior, I would encourage you to take her classes sooner rather than later!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be such a perfectionist. If you wait until you have it all together, you might miss out on the opportunities right in front of you.<\/p>\n

When I came to WSU, I didn\u2019t expect to get involved with the International Club. I quickly fell in love with the students involved in this club and learning about different countries and cultures. But most of all, I wasn\u2019t expecting to meet my future husband by getting involved with the International Club! Ian and I bonded over connecting new International students with other Winona State students. Working side-by-side to plan get-to-togethers with different International students as well as attending the International Club events is where our adventure began!<\/p>\n

My roommate and sweet friend since freshman year, Lizette Salazar. Lizette has seen me as a little freshman hitting my alarm 17 times every morning to now being a\u00a0senior preparing to graduate and get\u00a0married. Through it all, Lizette has shown me what it looks\u00a0like to be a friend who loves unconditionally\u00a0\u2014 even when I burned popcorn at 3am and made our dorm room stink for weeks…\u00a0From\u00a0the first time we\u00a0met at Pals Weekend our senior year of high school, Lizette has been influential in shaping who I am today simply by being\u00a0herself. Lizette selflessly\u00a0puts the interests of others\u00a0before\u00a0her own. She always sees the best in others, is quick to listen, and will never turn down a late night jam session.<\/p>\n
