Most meaningful thing learned or experienced during my time as a student:


Making someone's day, helping someone remember how to play, and teaching someone a skill are powerful experiences.


Advice for current students/recent graduates:


Learn some hard skills!  Most people are in this industry because of the love we have for it, but hard skills (excel, budgeting, finance, accounting, Adobe products, marketing) will set you apart.
If you want a master's degree - take the GRE ASAP.
