Advice for First-Year Students: Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, and put yourself out there. It seems terrifying at first, it gets a little less terrifying when you realize everyone else is as scared as you are. Also, I cannot stress this enough, get involved! I’ve met some of my greatest friends through the clubs and organizations I joined in my first year.
