Dear the soon to be New College Freshman,

Enjoy these last few months of High School, because soon enough you are going to be thrown into a completely different world. A world where you may not know anyone and pretty much will have a completely new start. I can only really provide a little advice.

For one, college teachers aren't as mean as you would think. A lot of them are actually really nice, especially if it's a smaller class, they really get to know you sometimes. Some times you'll get lucky in a smaller class and they will even bring snacks. So not all teachers are scary, even some have a sense of humor!

There are always lots of ways to make friends too. Sometimes, you'll find people who are like you at orientation, or in a club or even just across the hall from you. It really only takes an open ear and a pair of ready eyes.Truth is, making friends is easier when you're all new. You never know who you might find.

Be open to new things. College is one of those things that really shows you what the real world will be like, in a way. So take this time to learn and explore new things. You never know what might happen, because life works in mysterious ways.

Never give up is probably the biggest advice you can get. If you get a bad grade on a test, keep working. There's always room to improve. Get help when you need it and just keep pushing. Trust me, it gets easier.

So my current high school seniors, be true to yourself. College is just around the corner and as hard as it is sometimes, its totally worth it. Never stop working towards your goals and keep moving forward,

Sincerely,

A current College Freshman
