What would you tell yourself at age 18?
To never doubt yourself. Do not stress yourself out about your college science exams because biochemistry is your major for a reason - you always excel at it. And do not get fixed upon any one path to your career; there are many roads to get to your destination. Who knows, you might end up somewhere even better than where you originally planned to be!
