The Importance Of Jump Starting College Career As A Freshman
Savannah Masterson

You're in college. At this point in your life, you need to have some idea of what you want to do with your life after college. College is not only the opportunity for you to have the best four years of your life but also, using this time to gain connections in the field you're trying to pursue. Working hard in college is just as important is going out on a Friday night.

Freshman year is all about figuring out what you love to study most. It's about taking classes that peak your interests and help you narrow down your decisions in regards to what you're studying. Learning what area you're going to study is the first important in taking the first steps in creating a foundation for yourself. Yes you. This is your moment to take advantage of your time at college. Sometimes you think you may know where you're going but in all reality, you have no idea. If someone tells you that they know what they want to do, they're lying. No one knows where they'll end up and that the great thing about college. College is the place where you learn about the life you'll be going to live.

Something else you need to do in college is get a job. Not just something that helps you earn money but a job that helps you create qualities that companies are looking for. Use your career center to find a job that will better not only your job profile but also yourself. I've learned so much from my on campus job at the President's House.

Using college to the best of your ability is so important because if you're not, well that's on you. Here's to the ones who try and succeed. May we all keep our sanity in tact, find internships, and get a job after graduation.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.
