What have you learned about Princeton that you would have liked to know as a prospective student?

Although I knew that Prineton had endless resources and I believe that I have taken advantage of a great deal of them, I still would have liked to taken an even greater advantage of the opportunities available to me. Also, I'm realizing that relaxing and spending time establishing solid relationships with friends is almost always a better option than doing work.

What do you hope (or plan) to do after graduation and in the rest of your life?

"Dance, sing, floss, and travel." In other words, enjoy life, be healthy, and continue to learn and experience various perspectives.
