Junior and journalism major Dylan Morrill wrapped up his eight-week summer internship at Foster’s Daily Democrat by writing a column aimed at freshmen entering college for the first time. It’s great advice from someone who’s recently been there and done that, and is still doing it.
Here’s the bottom line: “But I’m telling you, push. During your freshman year, work hard to fully appreciate your new surroundings. Whatever you have to do to embrace your college and become a fully-fledged member of its culture, do it. Trust me. There will be an incredible amount of stuff to do at your college and only four years to do it in. You don’t want to miss out. Open your eyes wide and sprint.”
