If I had to give one piece of advice to incoming college freshmen, I'd say always be true to yourself.

I think that as a young lady, you start off not knowing what you want to do, and then you kinda arrive at yourself by the time you're 17 or 18, hopefully. And that's what I did.

I kept on telling my parents school wasn't for me. And they were like, 'No you need to go university.'

When you're in college, you really don't know where you're going to end up, but you know who you want to be along that journey.

My parents always knew that I wanted to act, so it didn't really come as a big surprise. The only thing they told me was that I had to wait until I was 18 so I could get my education out of the way first.

Education is an incredibly personal issue for me. If you're the first generation to go to college, sometimes you don't realize your potential until others point it out.

I'm 18, I'm going to graduate high school in a few months.

Luckily my parents were not against my ambition, they've always been very supportive. But they were adamant that I went to university first.

I was a good student until I turned 15. Then, all of a sudden, it didn't matter to me anymore. Isn't that funny. I don't want to go to college. I always knew that. But it's hard. My friends are going, and I feel a little left behind.

For whatever reason, college was just not a huge focus for me. I wasn't planning ahead. I just didn't think about it too much.
