What is your favorite memory as a freshman in college? |

I would say my favorite memory was with the Dance Team. We qualified for nationals and performed at Disney World, which was a wonderful experience! |

What is the most important thing every first-year student should know? |

Every first-year student should remember their flip flops for the shower! Always remember to thank your parents and to be patient as your relationship dramatically changes through college. |
