Tip Tuesday: Develop a Growth Mindset!

Remember, skills can be earned! You don’t have to know everything right away. Every experience is an opportunity to learn, improve, and grow. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, ask questions, and keep practicing. Progress takes time, and every small step counts!

Meet Talli Wright, a Psychology major! A fun fact about Talli is that she had a different name for the first two days of her life, which is definitely a story most people wouldn’t expect! If she could travel anywhere in the world, Talli would love to visit Banff in Alberta, Canada, because the mountains are beautiful and her favorite show was filmed nearby. Her advice to fellow students is straightforward: don’t be lazy and do your homework! Staying on top of your work can make a big difference when it comes to making the most of your college experience. Talli’s go-to coffee order is a brown sugar shaken espresso, and if she could have any superpower, she’d choose teleportation so she could get wherever she needs to go. During the workday, she can’t live without a coffee or energy drink to keep her going. When she has some downtime, her favorite book is Slammed by Colleen Hoover, giving her something fun to enjoy outside of school.

💡 Tip Tuesday!

Rejection can be discouraging, but it doesn’t mean you’re not capable or that you should stop trying. Every application, interview, and opportunity is part of the process—and each one can help you grow.

Keep applying. Keep learning. Keep going. Your next opportunity could be right around the corner!

Meet Damion Schunke, a Psychology and Coaching major! A fun fact about Damion is that he has one quite large thumb—definitely an interesting fact that most people probably wouldn’t guess! If he could travel anywhere in the world, Damion would choose Sweden. There isn’t really a specific reason behind the choice; he told himself a handful of years ago that he wanted to make it there, and he still hopes to make that trip someday. His advice to students is especially helpful during the busiest parts of college: when you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a step back and look at the big picture. Damion’s go-to coffee order is an espresso shot, and if he could have any superpower, he’d choose the ability to heal at a supernatural rate. During the workday, he can’t live without something to look forward to, whether that’s a small break, an upcoming event, or simply something to keep him motivated. When it comes to favorite shows, Game of Thrones takes the top spot!
