• Study Tip: "Study hard and dedicate yourself to the competition. More importantly though, enjoy it and don't stress, because if you don't, you won't do as well. If geography is 'your thing,' like it was mine, go for it. But approach life in a holistic manner, take in every experience and see what it is you enjoy: discover your talents. Pursue any interest to see if it's your best one, no matter what it is. I was always told, go where the money is, but I say go where your passion is. Passion is the key to happiness!"
