Advice for class of 2030- Making the most of your college experience starts with you! It can be scary to step into unknown territory, wondering if you'll fit in and make friends. The best thing you can do is try. There are so many opportunities to explore the new world of college and find the place where you belong. The best part is, if you don't like a certain club, sport, or activity, you can try others. Just know, you are not alone in your experience. Marist is what you make out of it, so make it home.

I'm a member of the Marist Orchestra as well, playing the violin. Aside from clubs and jobs, I have also designed clothing and stickers for the MPorium store, and graphics for student government campaigns.

Advice for the Class of 鈥�25: As a first-year student, I wished someone would have told me that everything will be fine. When you first go to a brand new school for the first time, it can be kind of overwhelming, but as soon as you begin spending more time there, meeting new friends, and really getting involved on campus, you realize there is nothing to be afraid of. You will find your place here, and there is something for everyone. I couldn't believe when I began my own orientation as a freshman. The atmosphere was just so welcoming, and it put a smile to my face knowing that people are genuinely excited to have you here as a student. My time at Marist has been truly some of the best years of my entire school career. I have learned so much more, gained new interests, and met such a diverse group of people. Everything is just waiting for you, and you will truly see how amazing everything is.

Advice for the Class of 鈥�25: One piece of advice I would give to the Class of 2025 is "go with your gut!" We all have a gut feeling when making decisions in life. In college you learn so much about yourself as you go through different stages. Listen to your mind and your body, because a gut feeling is never wrong. If something does not feel right whether that be changing your major to making new friends go with your intuition. I wish I listened to my "gut" when I was a freshman. I could have made my life so much easier. Also, ask for help. In college, we want to feel that sense of independence, but we all need help sometimes. Do not be afraid to utilize the amazing resources we have here at Marist.

Advice for the Class of 鈥�25: Transitioning to college can be a big adjustment and at first you may feel overwhelmed. This feeling of uneasiness is normal and will eventually pass. It's okay not to have your life figured out as an incoming student, and it's okay if you still don't have your life figured out when you're an upperclass student and it seems like all of your friends already know what they want to do with the rest of their lives. Most importantly, don't be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone, be open to new experiences. Welcome to the Fox Den, Class of 2025!

Especially for me, I felt out of place and scared of the hundreds of students who seemed like they had it all figured out. The simple phrase 鈥淚 am here for a reason鈥� helped remind me that Marist saw something special in me and deliberately chose me for what I had to offer. You are special and you have your own strengths that led you to Marist over thousands of applicants. Just stay confident and remember what makes you, you. Your skills, effort, struggles, family, and personality led you to Marist and remembering those things everyday will help you excel.
