Q: What do you think is the biggest change from high school to college?
A: I went to a boarding school, so the dorm life isn’t really all that different. It’s just a lot more free. You have to manage your own time. People aren’t going to look after you, and you’re on your own schedule.

Q: What is something you’ve learned since starting college?
A: You need to manage your time really well. Plan ahead, so you can space out free time and study time and socializing time and do-nothing time and take-care-of-yourself time.
