A Letter To My Freshman Self: If I could offer you some words of advice during your freshmen year, it would be to go with your gut and don’t worry about making money or pleasing people. Don’t buy those sneakers and save some of your scholarship money, and listen to your sister @sharonjco when she tells you take more than 12 units. Also, don’t let negative people who cross your path discourage you, and please stop comparing yourself to your fellow class mates. Everyone's path is different. Oh, and to the people who will say that they are surprised that you've even made it this far, don’t let them get to you. Just let them know that with God, family, friends, and dedication you will make it! As @blacchyna would say, “That’ll Teach ‘EM” #blackexcellence #APUSGrad
