The Future of Haymanites

Dear future College Writing student,

One thing I have to say is always prioritize! School comes first. There will always be parties and events going on around campus so there is not really much you are missing out on. Some of the fears I had before taking this class is not excelling in my essays. I wanted the reader to understand my arguments more clearly and even though I am not at the place I want to be, this class helped me master in certain steps that will help me reach my goal. Now that the class is over, I have read all of my reviews on essays and one thing that I wish I would have done is

outline my essays. Writing off the top of your mind is not always the answer. It is important to

have structure and flow in your writings to keep the reader interested and as least confused as

possible. I would advise you, future freshperson, to always take advantage of opportunities that will help you enhance your college career whether it is extra credit, the writing center or even

conversations with different peers. You never know when you need a couple extra points in class, a group of friends who want to see you succeed or even advice from a person who was

once in your shoes. Freshmen year will not be easy but always remember to stay grounded and

prioritize. Time management is essential in college and if you master this everything will be a lot easier. Don't forget to have fun little Haymanites, Casey will buy you donuts so don't worry.

Good Luck!
