Freshmen Advice

The first piece of advice I would give to the next incoming freshmen class is to be responsible. This will be your first experience totally away from your parents. You'll have your first taste of freedom and independence as you make your own choices as to when you choose to go to sleep or when you choose to attend class. I would just like to remind you that the work will catch up to you and it can become a burden. Most of all, I would like the incoming freshmen to remember to have fun. Just because college requires a lot of work you shouldn't feel like you need to constantly have something to do. These are your last few years before you enter the workforce. Take a breather and remember that not every grade is going to matter but what you learn in each class is what is going to make the difference.

Study Abroad

If I could study abroad anywhere in the world I would most definitely go to Dublin, Ireland. I've always wanted to go to Ireland mainly because of the scenery and that I'm 100% Irish. I actually plan on studying abroad next fall and I will be studying in the field of journalism. I am absolutely ecstatic about what this experience will have in store for me. I plan on experiencing the culture and traditions of Ireland. I hope to gain more knowledge of my ancestors while I'm there too. I just can't wait!
