Future Springfield College Students

 Dear Incoming First year students,

                              Welcome to the Springfield College family! When I say family I mean we all act like one big family here. You probably can already tell by what you have experienced during NSO but trust me it only gets better. I have some vital information and advice for you to make your transition into first semester a little better.

 I know you might want to focus on schoolwork or you just may want to isolate yourself from others but try to make an effort to get to know the people on your floor. My floor is literally this little family of misfits but we all love each other. In general try to make as many friends in the building as you can because you might need to borrow something from them someday. It is also important that you try to get along with your roommate. For some of you this may be your first time living with a roommate and you may not know what to expect. If you just respect what they want and respect their space you will be just fine.

Next, Get as involved as you can on campus. Clubs are really fun here on campus. I am on the Campus Activities Board and let me tell you, it is pretty lit. We plan all some of the events here on campus and it is one of my favorite clubs to go to.

I also have advice for college writing. Yes, it is all essays but trust me it is not that bad. Just keep up with your work and don't fall asleep in class.
Now for some general advice. Save your money as much as you can, you might need it for dominos one night. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE! It is my biggest problem and it is not fun so please try to not do it. Cheney the dining hall is pretty bad on weekends you may want to invest in some ramen noodles.

All in all just be yourself and you will fit in just fine here at Springfield College,we are excited to have you here!
