I would just say come here and be open to meeting new people and absorbing it all. I think a lot of people say 'I鈥檓 going to be pre-med,' or whatever their major is, and 'I鈥檓 going to do this, this, and this,' and that鈥檚 how I鈥檓 going to get through these four years. Try to take one course that鈥檚 outside what you鈥檝e ever experienced. So last semester, I took a freshmen seminar in philosophy. I had never touched philosophy. I had no idea what I was doing and it ended up being one of my favorite classes. I became good friends with the professor. Philosophy was not at all something I could ever imagine myself doing, so it was interesting. College is about doing new things.
