Senior Justin Guiffre, a Hatchet senior columnist, advises incoming freshmen to set out on the paths they want to take as soon as possible.

If you’re reading this, I envy you. Because you’re probably an incoming freshman, just like I was three long years ago. It also means that you have some of your most amazing years ahead of you. But nobody can tell you what the next four years will be like; that is up to you. So make sure to write the story you want to tell.

Start today. Don’t wait for somebody to make you have fun, don’t just expect that you will get everything out of a class or a professor because it’s college and don’t wait to make your place at this University. Sign up for student organizations, talk to people and get out into the city. Four years may seem like a long time, but trust me, it will fly by. Start making the story of your college years today; you don’t want to waste a second.
