What words of advice would you give incoming freshman?
The saying that got me through high school: Strive for progress, not perfection. The most you can ask of yourself is that this time is going to be better than last time. You can't obtain perfection but there is always room to grow.

What words of advice would you give incoming freshman?
My advice is to not let fear get in the way of what you want to do. Dess in her song the Crow say "You land badly, you crash standing" when talking about fear. This means that facing your fears can be challenging, but in the end you can get through it.

What words of advice would you give incoming freshman?
Try to be on top of your work, but don't forget that taking care of yourself is more important! It will get harder as you go on, so take things at your own pace and ask for help when you feel stuck or need support. You're still a kid, have fun like one!
