When you're a first semester freshman, it's okay to have old high school stuff on there, just because it's less likely that you have other things to put on your resume. But as soon as you have a college GPA to work with, a club or two, and some volunteer experiences to replace that, do it.

### Don't make it a scavenger hunt.

We've all been there. At times, it feels like it's the only way to get ahead. But guess what: it's not!

Everyone wants to be great, in their own way. When I say to "be yourself," I mean that I want you to show people who you are, what you're passionate about, and what you strive to be!
