Utilize all of the resources that are available to you. Remember that getting help is a strength and not a weakness. Use your college experience to develop your skills of asking for help, collaborating with others, becoming involved, finding out your best way of learning, and mastering time and stress management. You will utilize all of these skills as you move into your career.
