As summer began to dwindle down I — like many other incoming freshmen — was excited for the new year. The prospect of new friends, new adventures, independence and interesting classes on a beautiful campus excited me! I was excited to get out of my comfort zone and get involved in activities and organizations that would challenge me and force me to grow and evolve into a better version of myself. I was so caught up in thinking about all the fun that I had that I didn't really think about how I would mentally be able to handle all the changes.
