It’s time for a change, seniors. So who better to offer some valuable advice from those who have been in your shoes . . . last years’ graduates!

“Use all your time wisely.” Gabe Obrist

“Everyone going into their first year is experiencing the same exact thing like getting used to the new environment, making new friends, and the classes. So just don’t stress yourself out about these things. Be open to talking to new people and trying new things. I promise it’s not as bad as you think.” Alaina Miser

“Don’t stress about finding new friends. There’s going to be people just like you at any college you go to. Just be yourself, don’t alter your personality to values because you want to please other people.” Alexa Mamone

“Just have fun and enjoy college because it won’t be around your whole life.” Nico Quattrone

“Don’t take things too seriously, and just do want you want to do.” Cooper Dalmaso

“Online college courses are a lot more work than they seem to be at first.” Ian Stafford

“College was such a reality check for me, like I was so used to getting by without studying or trying hard, but in college the teachers don’t cut any slack for you. I had to learn to manage my time better!” Emily Sebastian

“Make sure you set a lot of time aside to study, because it will be a lot harder than you think.” Zach Thompson
