Dear Underclassman…

With only a few short weeks left until our seniors walk across the stage, the period of reflection on the past four years begins. Emotions are high and abundant. Gratitude. Panic. Love. Relief. There is no right or wrong way to feel as this big chapter in your life comes to an end, and maybe you don’t even know how you feel. 

Penn State seniors have seen and experienced it all. With their years of experience in the simulation that is Penn State comes great wisdom– which they have so graciously offered to share with the underclassman of PSU. Learn from their successes and mistakes, even though you will almost definitely still make some mistakes of your own.

Dear underclassman,

“Embrace all the twists and turns! I’ve grown so much and changed as a person from freshman year and all those experiences created who I am now!”

“Make an effort to meet new people! There are so many different people from different walks of life on campus. You never know who you might meet!”

“Explore all of the resources and opportunities that Penn State has to offer.”

“Enjoy every moment with your friends! The boys aren’t worth it.”

“Take advantage of all the opportunities that Penn State offers. We are so lucky to be going to a university that has so many career and social opportunities, don’t take that for granted!”

“Don’t wear white on hot days.”

“Being present in every moment. The fruits of your labor will come to you with time, you just have to invest in yourself and wait for the result. Dream, try and work hard but most importantly enjoy the little moments.”

“You are not too cool for anything or anyone!!!!! Try every opportunity that comes your way at least once you never know who you’ll meet!!!”

“Try and take small trips/day trips around the area.”

“Don’t spend your meal plan in the HUB, you’ll go broke.”

“Take every opportunity!! You never know what could happen!”

“College is one hell of a rollercoaster. Hold on tight and genuinely enjoy the experience and everything it has to offer because once it’s over you will want to ride that again and again and you can’t.”

“Take advantage of school resources. They are so helpful and the faculty want to help you succeed.”

“Take in every moment! These are years that you can’t get back, make the most of them!”

Love,
Penn State Class of 2025.

    In the grand scheme of things you’ll get an A just for effort. Where exactly you actually confused me personally was in your facts. You know, they say, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more true in this article. Having said that, allow me tell you what exactly did give good results. Your article (parts of it) is definitely pretty convincing and that is most likely why I am making the effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, while I can certainly see a jumps in logic you come up with, I am not sure of just how you seem to connect the details which inturn produce the conclusion. For right now I will yield to your point but trust in the foreseeable future you connect the facts better.

  • This really answered my problem, thank you!
