What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Katrina

I wish I had known that everything was going to go as smoothly as it did. Maybe I would have been more confident about going to the college and less worried about the transition and workload.

Hayleigh

I wish someone had sat me down and told me how responsible I would have to become. It is not just about not partying every night or not oversleeping. You have to follow a schedule, and this is true for any college. In order to achieve your dreams, you have to work hard, it is not just going to be handed to you.

Nothing really. I was very organized in high school and I think in college if your not organized then you not going to succeed very well. It was a surprise of how hard classes are but in the long run not knowing was probably a good thing.
