 Dear Raigel, congratulations. You're about to start your first year of college at your dream school It will be everything you imagined at times, but at other times, so much less You've been visiting Berkeley to see family from time to time for as long as you can remember But prepare for your every illusion to be shattered You're gonna spend the next four years of your life fighting for what you believe And you won't regret a minute of it But what you will regret is not asking for help when you need it You will find yourself in difficult, challenging, and heartbreaking work And you will regret that so often you're trying to do it alone You're about to make the most amazing friends of your life here at Berkeley You'll meet incredible mentors, and you'll fall in love with everything So let them in Change takes time and you're in it for the long haul So take care of yourself If you really want to see your work through to the end If you outluck's, go Bears Much love
