 You don't come to college to find yourself you come to college to create yourself you come to create who you want to be. So I would tell my first year self don't worry it's gonna be okay. It's gonna be a ride uh it's gonna be a good ride have fun uh Gustavus is a great community. You meet the best people of your life here and just soak it all up and take advantage of every opportunity. Make sure to try something new if you always kind of look for opportunities to expand and grow they'll do perfectly all right. It's okay to travel in packs your first year you kind of got to clump together um and get to know your roommate. Definitely try it all and do it all and then you can come back after the first year but just have fun and enjoy yourself. Use the planner right away you know that planner that you get in the in the bookmark buy one and actually start using your first week because you'll get halfway through your first semester and you'll realize you can't do the thing that you did in high school where you just remember all of your courses and the homework you got to write that stuff down and keep an open mind about classes and learn all you can and then get involved right away all right. Always go into office hours and get to know your professors because they are just so invaluable here at Gustavus and they they really help you find yourself and find your your calling. I think using that Gustavus network to you know through work and professional life and social life has been really important to me. It means to be kind um to treat other people like you want to be treated and to shine your life because the people who I've met here have really helped me to find my way. I can't wait to go out of here and start shining my light and do the same. It involves love kindness and and just like unimaginable joy. It's a community full of love for one another.
