Advice to Incoming Freshmen

The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

So as an incoming freshman, you probably have a lot of questions asked. What's going on? What are you going to do? Especially if you don't have anyone to talk to that has been in here before. It might be really difficult, and also, especially if you're a first generation college student, you're gonna have a lot of questions that need to be answered. I myself am not a first generation college student, but I did have a lot of doubts and concerns coming into my freshman year. Just remember that every single freshman experience is going to be different, Although we all share some of the same similar themes. Everyone has a unique experience, which is something to take in mind because you can't always trust the advice that you read from everyone. So if I could give one piece of advice to my high school cell, I would say to just step out of my comfort zone and try something that I never thought I could do before I moved away about eight hours from home in while I'm still in the same state, Texas is also huge. I was so really scared because what if I need to go home for a family emergency? What was I gonna do? So really stepping out of that conference own and letting myself try new things and move far away really helped me. So if you have the opportunity, I would say, Reach big and try things that are scary because you're going to end up having a great time and really reinventing yourself before attending college. I wish that I knew that I wasn't really going to need a car. While I do use my card too, like visit home, back and forth. So if you're really needing the car to travel back and forth from home, I would say Do it. Having a car is not really necessary in college, especially if you live close to home and your parents khun, bring you home or, if you have friends, that can bring you because parking passes here are really expensive. So I would say really only bring a car if it's necessary to you. It's kind of a Navy situation, but I am kind of sad. I don't get to drive it as much. I was a senior in high school about to graduate, and something that they didn't tell me is the climate here is a little bit wacky By that. I mean, you experience all four seasons drastically, a different times and especially Texas has kind of weird weather. Make sure that you know the climate of wherever you're going to be moving and living in college. Because in the fall it rained a lot and I didn't have rain boots or a raincoat, and that was really difficult because I got everything wet all the time. I wasn't prepared for that climactic change from when I was down south. So definitely I would say, Do some research on where you gonna be moving in the climate. So just be prepared for that and also be prepared if we need, like, a lot of winter, where if you need the cat's gloves, scarves, if you need more tank tops and shorts, foot flops Make sure you have everything you need in terms of clothes, so you can be comfortable.
