Dear College Freshman: Advice from a Graduating Senior

Ayanna MaloneNews

Dear College Freshman,

As a senior who has been learning everything as I go, I would love to give you advice that would hopefully help guide you through the rest of your journey at the University of Mobile:

Tip #1 – Make sure you have a plan.

If you have a plan, everything will run a lot smoother. You won’t be scrambling to figure out what your next step is. Also, make sure you trust in God’s plan, because nothing can happen without him!

Tip #2 – Know your degree.

This one may go without saying, but you must know what classes you are going to be taking. This can also help lighten the load of schoolwork as well ,because you would know what classes you can pair with each other. This leads me to my next tip! 

Tip #3 – Socialize.

It will feel like the years have flown by if you have friends that you can create memories with.

Tip #4 – Be Involved.

I regret not being as involved as I could have been because those are memories that I missed out on. Make sure you are also in touch with the faculty just in case you need more guidance.

Tip #5 – Have fun.

This is exactly what it means! Cherish every moment of your college experience. It’s a unique time in your life filled with excitement, growth and unforgettable memories. Make the most of it by embracing every opportunity, savoring every friendship and living life to the fullest.

May you have a fantastic time in college, full of happiness, development,and blessings. Never forget that God is walking with you, guiding you, strengthening you,and filling your heart with His unconditional love. You are not and will not be alone on this journey.

Yours Truly,
Ayanna Malone
