What advice would you give to a first- or second-year prehealth student athlete? Explore your interests! Don't worry about how it will connect to your post-college plans, there is so much time and you will find the connections:) Ask for help and utilize the resources available to you (McGraw, HPA advisors, tutoring, etc..) while also taking care of yourself. Make sure to get enough sleep and fuel yourself with enough meals--remember these are just as important (if not more) than studying. It's so easy to feel imposter syndrome at a place like Princeton but remember everyone feels that way and you deserve to be at Princeton and are here for a reason! We are here to help :)
