What advice would you give?

My best advice for future students would be it is okay to ask questions. No one goes into a new job knowing everything they need to be doing so do not be shy when it comes to asking for help. I learned this the hard way when I tried to do new things without asking for help the first time. People are mostly very understanding and will help you out when needed.
