This is a preface before you get to into college.

A reflection of my collegiate career thus far, and as I close this small segment of my life with this blog I want to leave you with the last set of tips and a small slideshow of pictures of me and some friends my freshman year and some photos from now. 

1. Don't be discouraged.

Life will be hard, and it's not fair. But keep going on. Sometimes you will fail a class, other times you will excel, but in 20 years none of that will matter. So keep your own head up, take care of your business, and keep going on. 

2. ​Keep going.

You are not alone, and you won't be alone. You can continue in this academic pursuit for as long as you need. You will be okay, and if you fall you will be able to get back up.

3. Believe it.

You can read those last two tips as much as you want, but until you realize you have actually believed in them you will feel so tired. School can be tough, but if you follow through you will be okay. 

The photos below are from my freshman year up to this point. Just hover over the photos the direction you wish to see them go or click the photos.
