(In no order of importance, from my scattered thoughts)
- My one and a half terms at Mount Holyoke College, a private institution of higher learning, costs the same as 5 years at the Spitzer School of Architecture which is part of the CUNY system (City University of New York) Also: I was on scholarship at Mount Holyoke. If I wasn't, my semester and a half would be worth nearly 10 years at Spitzer.
- Starbucks didnt want me FYI :(
- College debt is not a pretty thing. One of my history teachers in high school noted that the only way you can get out of your college debt is if you die. Lovely, isn't it?
- If I didn't love architecture so much, I probably wouldn't go back to school.
- It's rather upsetting to think that some students waste their college years by partying and constantly getting wasted. I'm not saying that having a good time is a bad thing, just that some people look forward to college because of the social life which I find completely silly.
- You should study something you're passionate about because your courseload will seem like the funnest thing ever
- I tutor kids in Chinatown on the weekends now
- An entry-level position can lead to a career and a hearty salary with a little bit of dedication and a touch of motivation. A nice smile and good handshake aren't bad, either
- IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY, GROW SOME BALLS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Change isn't going to magically come to you: you have to seek it.
- I should be a motivational speaker.
- I'm on Twitter @juliamlu
- read some books, kids
