In high school, you work your way up to become a senior and most people hold that title high. As soon as people graduate high school, reality hits. All summer I was so nervous for college, but as soon as I got here, all my worries faded away. The start of college is a new chapter in your life, like a breath of fresh air. My advice for incoming freshmen is to take a deep breath and let their new life begin. There are so many opportunities to find yourself, especially being a freshman. The clubs and classes you can take are all up to you and they can lead you to find a group of friends. It’s understandable to be nervous to meet new people and put yourself out there, but everyone else is scared to talk to new faces too.

There are so many positives to college but there are some obstacles that freshmans can encounter. To be a successful college student, you need to go to class, keep your dorm neat, stay up to date with your laundry, and juggle your school and social life. Balancing all these things can be overwhelming, especially if you come from a family that picks up after you. Also, it can be challenging being away from home. Being a freshman in college usually means the first time away from your family. Being homesick is very common. Face timing or calling family is a great way to connect with them. If you were to take anything away from this blog, time management and balance between school and social life are the biggest key points to success in college.
