You Got Skills

The best piece of advice that I can give to incoming students is to try -- that is how you learn about computers. Initially you just have to sit there until you figure out what to do, I know it sounds difficult, but in a few weeks I learned how to find my way through Microsoft Office. Because computer programs have interfaces that are similar, you can apply processes that you learn in one program to another. After a while anyone can develop a "computer sense" that can guide them through new and powerful applications. Persistence pays off, you just have to try.
