 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was your best memory from college?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My best memory from college was either being at the football game where ACU beat WTAMU 93-68 or playing \"\"baseball for Coach Britt Bonneau.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is your best advice for college students?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My best advice would be to keep your dorm room door open as much as you can. My best friendships in college came from people who would walk through my open door and from the open doors I chose to walk through.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"What do you wish you could tell your college self today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wish I could tell my college self that doing too many things is not a good thing. Choose a couple of things to be really involved in and do them well. Don’t spread yourself too thin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
