An Open Letter From MSSU Freshmen

Being a freshman is scary, don't tell me you don't remember! Walking around campus for the first time and seeing all the buildings. You had no idea what was inside each building, but you were ready to conquer the world! Sadly, the hardest thing about being a freshman is dealing with the older students. Being a freshman means you are looked down upon. You're now a baby. So here is an open letter from us...

If you hear us complaining about being stressed, don't laugh or mock us. Tell us it's going to be okay and we will get the hang of it. It may never be any less stressful, but we will get through it! Support us, you once this young and all you wanted was some help.

If you see us lost, help us. MSSU is a smaller campus, but I came from a school that only had 125 students 9th-12th. This campus is huge! I don't know where all the buildings are, and I don't know what is inside of them.

When a freshman asks you for help, HELP THEM! Don't laugh and walk away! You guys should be our mentors, not bullies. The way you treat us is how we will treat the incoming freshmen.

Yes, everyone dreads freshmen. Some of us are a little too big for our britches, but some of us are scared and need help. Be the person you needed when you were a freshman.

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.
