Hint: Mama
Yes, today is the beginning of a new life. One day you're Mama's child, living at home, the next day, you're a freshman and on your own. Freshman, I like the word. The very name itself suggests a problem. Should it be pronounced with stress on the fresh or on the man? It could be either. It doesn't matter whether you think of adulthood as journey or as an arrival, today is clearly a step on the path of your life. Freshman excitement and freshman fears can be seen on every young face around me. College is an exciting time, perhaps the most exciting time of your life. But it is also a time of many major adjustments and some disappointments. Most fields of study have become quite competitive. You will need to study hard and prepare yourself well in order to enter them.
