"My piece of advice is that your worth is inherent, not contingent. Yes, you are accomplished and phenomenal to have gained admission to this world-class institution, but you would be just as worthy of life, joy, respect and happiness if you hadn’t. You are worthy because you exist, and more than enough whether you get As or Cs, especially if you put in 110 percent effort. Remember this if your tests or grades don’t go as expected!"
"Go beyond the Columbia bubble and explore what New York City has to offer! Your adventure awaits: There's something for everyone!"
"Don’t be afraid to break out of your shell a little bit more! No one knows you here and everyone is too busy overanalyzing themselves to worry about any potential mistakes you’re making! Make friends, embarrass yourself, try new things! You’re here to learn more about yourself and your interests so use this experience wisely!"
