How do you typically approach managing your workload and deadlines?

I usually start assignments close to the deadline and manage as things come up I have a basic system, but I often miss deadlines or feel rushed at the last minute I plan ahead and use a calendar, but sometimes struggle when multiple deadlines overlap I map out all deadlines weeks in advance and break projects into manageable milestones

What's your current relationship with mental health support and campus resources?

I prefer to handle challenges on my own and rarely seek help from others I know support exists, but I haven't explored what's available on campus yet I've visited counselling or joined a club, but I could be more proactive about wellness I regularly use campus counselling, attend support groups, and prioritize mental health

How do you approach selecting your courses each semester?

I pick courses based on availability or what sounds interesting without much planning I choose courses with some thought, but I don't have a long-term degree plan I meet with my advisor and plan most of my degree, but I'm still figuring out details I have a complete degree map, consult my advisor regularly, and balance workload strategically

How actively are you building your professional network and gaining work experience?

I focus mainly on academics and haven't thought much about networking or internships I know networking is important, but I'm unsure how to start or feel hesitant to reach out I attend some events and have connected with a few professors, but could do more I regularly attend industry events, seek internships, and maintain relationships with professors
