HOW DO YOU COPE WITH STRESS: Going to the gym, watch Netflix, or take a long nap.

WHAT SURPRISED YOU MOST ABOUT COLLEGE: I didnt realize how similar college
is to high school. I have so much downtime on my hands after school and doing my homework.
What can I say? Im loving the college student life.

TOUGHEST PART OF FRESHMAN YEAR: I think the toughest part of freshman year
would be how much work there really is. Its crazy how many assignments you can have at one
time.

WORDS OF WISDOM: Make sure to balance your education and social life. Try making as
many new friends as possible, get their phone number, social media accounts, and just make it a
friendship that will last. Also, GET AS MUCH SLEEP AS POSSIBLE.
