<p>remember that the final judge for how you will engage your future years of your practice is yourself. listen carefully but critically to the people around you, and make well guided decisions through your own experience vs. those around you. </p>
<p>the lifestyle of an architecture student is not for everyone. Only you can decide whether it is right for you or not. I would highly recommend attending a summer architecture program or try working at a firm. For me, I highly enjoy what I do, despite the fact that I pull countless all nighters in studio. as for future practice, we’ll see about that later, but for now, I can’t imagine myself doing anything else.</p>
