advices & observations to the freshmen class.

i started to think about the patterns freshmen have and how they act in their own groups compared to other grade(?) levels. over time, there's been many changes to the world and academia: freshmen want to strongly impress their newfound peers, pressures to adapt in an unknown environment, and getting used to independence. plainly, it's a lot. this is a list i did after having a conversation with a classmate of mine.

i started this list to reminisce my time in college. while i have varying ups and downs, i'm grateful for the experiences i've had, and the wild memories i have living in the city. it feels like a goodbye for right now, as there is not a 100% certainty on how my life post undergrad will look like. there will always be more things to do, but one step at a time. that's the grace i'll give myself.

note: this is a messy list. i started this list maybe last week and at this point i just want to release it. i'm going to keep thinking about more obvs.& advice, so i may update this post once in a while, but we'll see. also, this is coming from someone in their senior yr in an american college, so some advice will not apply to every single freshman reading this.
