Peer Advising Column

Taylor Koshiol

Hi there! My name is Taylor Koshiol, and I'm a first-gen college student in my fourth year at UCSD, studying Cognitive Science Design and Interaction. I'm interested in all things design, programming, and user research! This is my third year serving as a Peer Advisor for Sixth College, and I am so excited about wrapping up my time at UCSD with more fun Advising tabling and events. I'm also a research assistant for the UCSD Comparative Cognition Lab and a Dialogue for Peace Student Fellow. Below you can find weekly tips, advice, and more from me!

Finals Week

It’s the end of the quarter! As you wrap up your last projects and exams for Winter, take a moment to reflect on the progress you’ve made as a student and what you have accomplished thus far. Do not let yourself forget how far you’ve come, even if you still have far to go. 
In my first quarter at UCSD, one of my professors, Jim Hollan, gave my class a piece of advice that has stuck with me throughout my time here. He encouraged us to devote at least one quarter at UCSD to applying ourselves 100% to our classes, and give them everything we have. Showing up, going to office hours, befriending classmates and studying for each exam. He told us that if you are able to commit yourself fully, to give something your all, you will show yourself exactly what you are capable of, and you will never forget it. I hope you give yourself the opportunity to learn what this looks like for you, and you’ll remember the feeling of pride in your endeavors.

Whether Spring quarter marks the end of your first year here at UCSD or your last, I hope you enter it with a confidence to succeed and a drive to impress yourself in whatever it is that you choose. Be it career, academic, or personal, reflect on your path and develop a plan for your growth. Congratulations on completing your Winter 2026 quarter, Sixer!
