10 Things All College Ambassadors Know To Be True
Ben Duchac

It's that time of year again... open houses and campus tours! As college ambassadors, we look forward to events geared towards upcoming freshman. It gets even more exciting when accepted student days arrive early April. Although there are many other things all ambassadors have in common, the following ten are ones that I resonate with.

1. Open House/ Accepted Student days are what we live for.


Sign me up.

2. Campus food gets 100x better for the weekend.


Calzones, bread knots, cake WITH frosting, fried macaroni and cheese, the list goes on. Does it get any better??

3. You get to wear your name tag and school garb to represent your school in the best possible way.


Name tag? Check. Khakis? Check. Ambassador scarf? Check.

4. It’s alway exciting to meet prospective students.


You might even be overly enthusiastic...

5. Being able to tell parents and students about all of the great clubs/ organizations on campus, (especially the ones that you are in).


So you should definitely join the Odyssey and Relay for Life.

6. You pray for good weather on tour days because nobody likes to walk in the rain.


Ain't nobody got time for that.

7. We aren’t an ambassador for the money; we do it because we love representing our school.

Gooooooo Warriors!

8. When you meet a prospective student from your hometown, it’s kind of a big deal (okay, it's a major big deal).

I'm from Maine. Wait you're from Maine too??

9. After a day of tours, discussions with parents and students, ambassadors love debriefing with their friends about how their day went.

"Ugh, my feet hurt." "I barely had lunch today." "So when's the next open house?"

10. Even if you have to wake up early on a weekend, it doesn’t matter; being an ambassador is what we live for!

Rise and shine, future college students!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
