 You have to be well-rounded. This might be the one video clip that you want to show your parents. See, Professor Oak says, I have to have fun at college. And I say that jokingly, but there's research that shows that for us to function well, we have to be well-rounded. As human beings, we have many different needs. We have emotional needs. I need friendships to be emotionally grounded. I have to do some things to release energy. The model that I really like, it is a wheel. There's a wellness wheel. Before I was a professor, before I was an engineer, I worked in the residence halls. We would do a lot of programming for the students in the hall. They called it a wellness model. The thing I like about a wheel is that for a wheel to function, it needs to be round. So if I'm ignoring my social life, what I'm doing is saying I've got half a wheel that's flat. So you actually can't do as well in my classroom if you're not having fun sometimes. Now caution, that doesn't mean don't go to class and don't work hard. We want you to work hard, but it means in your schedule you should include time for friendships for social things. You need to take care of yourself physically. If you're making exercise part of your normal routine, it means paying attention to what you eat and not when mom and dad are not here, you actually have to eat nutritious food, vegetables, and things like that. If the spiritual part, you come from a spiritual background, finding a face center that can continue that, those are things that are important. It's also important if you start to find that you're struggling in some area, is to find someone, go to an academic advisor or the Dean of Students or the International Student Services to say, you know, I'm starting to, I remember when I was an international student, there was, I think every student that studies abroad, I felt that has a time where it's like I just have to go home. I can't take this anymore. And to be able to talk through that with somebody is important. At Purdue, in the residence halls, the academic advisors, there are a lot of people you can talk to that can help you through something or point you to something.
