Dear College Freshie,

Hey freshie! I know when you first got here, you were scared, excited, nervous. You felt a mixture of everything. You honestly did not know what to expect from this new place. You heard stories from people who’ve been to college, but you knew in the back of your head that although those people have been to college, your experiences and their experiences are not going to be the same. But look at you now, adjusting and flourishing in this college life. Creating your own experiences that you will remember for the rest of your life. You may by now have realized that it is not easy, but yet you’re still pushing through and that makes me so proud of you! Look at you trying your best and feeding that brain of yours that is hungry for success. Freshie, I am just writing this to tell you that you got it. I know you hear this all the time but as a fellow freshman myself, I know a little encouragement can go a long way. So, with that being said keeping growing and watering yourselves my little Freshie flowers. Your garden will flourish and grow as you continue this college journey.
