by Sophie Samek, Head Writer As I approach the end of my degree, there are a few things I would have liked to tell my younger self trying to figure out how to make the most out of university. It is very easy to become caught up in comparing yourself to your other classmates and trying to curate the best resume. I am no exception to this, I have stretched myself extremely thin in the past just because I thought that I would benefit in the future.
