"Flocks"

    Two years from now, if I were to come back and talk with the freshman class, I would say alot of what Tori and Sarah said.  Being a freshman, is not necessarily hard or impossible it is just very different from high school.  In high school, you live at home and your parents help out more than you realize.  When you start college you are out on your own, to discover the world. 
    When I first came to Converse, I was not very excited about the whole college experience, therefore I did not prepare myself in the right manner.  I had none of my books ordered, and I had not made a schedule for myself.  I realize now, that the schedule is one of the most important things.  I am now having to make a strict schedule for myself and actually schedule time to sleep.  I think college is a bit challenging, but nothing I can not handle.  I was surprised to find that even though the classes are challenging, the professors are willing to do what they can to help you.   
    In two years, I hope I am well on my way to achieving my goal as a vocal peroformance major.  I want my musicianship skills as well as my voice to be even better.  In order to achieve my goals, I must stick to the strict schedule I plan on making for myself! 
   Other than planning out their time well, the main thing I would emphasize to the freshman girls, is to stay healthy.  Eat the right foods and excercise.  I never realized how important it was to stay healthy until I came to Converse.  It is a key ingredient to sucess.
