It’s never too late to start again. Whether you are indecisive between majors, stressed about internships, or eager to switch paths, remember it's never too late to start again. You can do it!
Love, Ally Ames
Remember that time goes quickly, and don’t pass up chances to try new things, meet new people, and explore where you are. Don’t miss walks in the arboretum, live music with friends, or any chance to sit on the terrace!
Love, Barrett Bennett
Take a moment to pause and recognize your growth. You are stronger, wiser, and more capable than when you started, and that is something to be truly proud of! Move forward with confidence, knowing there are amazing things ahead.
Love, Ellie Greco
Take everything in. Whether you’re walking to class, getting ready for a night out, or having a cozy night in to watch movies with your friends, these moments together are priceless. For four years, you get to live next to your best friends, cherish the time, try new things, and never take this time for granted.
Love, Greer Diaz

College will be one of the most dynamic times of your life. New friends, new classes, new apartments, new challenges. Be open to any and all new experiences, but give yourself grace, knowing that you’re actively learning and growing. Lean on your close friends and be there for them in return. You’ll figure everything else out.
-Grace Bevers
Be present in the moment, and don't take the little things for granted. Once that time is gone, you can’t get it back, so enjoy every second, the good and the bad.
-Vince Langlois
Success is subjective! It can be so easy to compare yourself to others, but remember that everyone is on their own unique path. Make the most of every moment, and stay authentic to yourself and your journey!
