It feels great to be pretty much done with my first semester of college! I had no idea what to expect but I have learned so much in such a short time. For the next batch of freshmen, I would definitely advise them to use their time wisely. Being away from home and having complete control over you schedule is definitely a priviledge. The ways you choose to spend your time affects every area of your life; everything from your school work, social life, and personal time. I would also advise them to experience all that they can. USC has so many great things to offer! Joining clubs, volunteering, attending athletic events and other activities really do make a difference. They all help to ease the stress school causes and are good places to meet new people. Most importantly, as new freshmen pay close attention to how you are evolving. College definitely changes people. Just make sure your changes are for the best!
