To many people, the phrase, 鈥淒on鈥檛 put off tomorrow what you can do today,鈥 is a bit of a well-worn clich茅. To 糖心logo入口 junior Shyanne Bennett, it鈥檚 a sage piece of advice.
Shyanne, an environmental science major from nearby Lawton, Pa., is involved in many activities, both on and off campus, she makes sure that virtually every minute of every day is put to positive use.
In addition to being an honors student, Shyanne works at her part-time job at WEMCO/Romax Hose, a local company that makes tubes for CPAP sleep machines. She has also worked at a quarry owned by her father, Stan Bennett, and served as a lab assistant in Keystone鈥檚 biology department. Shyanne has also been a member of the Giants鈥 cross country and track team.
鈥淚 love to stay busy,鈥 Shyanne admits. 鈥淚 like to organize my day so I have time for my school work but also for my jobs as well.鈥
But that鈥檚 not all. When she鈥檚 not studying or working, Shyanne especially loves to spend time outdoors, enjoying activities such as kayaking, hiking, hunting and fishing.
鈥淏eing outside is really my first love and why I chose to major in environmental science at Keystone. When I graduate, I hope to pursue a career in conservation or environmental consulting. I want to be out doing what I enjoy,鈥 she said.
While she lived on-campus initially, Shyanne now commutes from home because it is more convenient given her busy schedule. Either way, Keystone has turned out to be a perfect place for her to pursue her goals.
鈥淚鈥檓 especially grateful to the faculty. They know how busy I am and where I want to go with my career and my life and they support me in every way. You can鈥檛 ask for more than that.鈥
Shyanne鈥檚 advice for current or prospective college students: 鈥淕et moving. Don鈥檛 sit around. Find out what you like to do and go do it. And, make sure you plan ahead to get it all done!鈥
That鈥檚 great advice from someone who lives by that philosophy all the time.
