Her advice to select a topic that plays to your interests and strengths is well worth heeding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">My best advice for future Honors students is to pick a topic that you will be able to maintain an interest in and a curiosity for. This process is very long and, at times, its completion can feel impossible. There is no worse decision to make than to choose a topic that you have limited interest in. Equally important is that you are capable of having a dynamic approach to completing your proposed project. For this paper, for example, I initially excelled in finding readings and conducting research, but struggled in constructing my own views on the subject.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\">Advice that you will likely hear from every present and past Honors student is to work hard early on, so as to make life a little easier when everything else gets piled on. Manage your time wisely and above all, respect what your adviser has to say!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 60px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/honors.syr.edu\/capstone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/10\/argentina-economy-crisis.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8045\" src=\"https:\/\/honors.syr.edu\/capstone\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/10\/argentina-economy-crisis-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"argentina economy crisis\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emma Van Wagenberg (MG &#8217;14) was a finance major with a political science minor.
