During my first semester, I wish I would have known...
there are a lot of resources on campus meant to help students succeed. The writing center, tutoring center, and peer study groups all help students to succeed, and I wish I had used these resources in my first semester.
Favorite Local Shop or Restaurant
Taste Tea in Downtown Arbutus.
Favorite Class or Professor and Why
Greek Mythology with Dr. Phin. This was my favorite class because as you read myths you'll begin to realize that many tropes/ plot structures have their origins in myths.
My advice to prospective students...
is college can be a lot of fun but has a lot of distractions so it's important to balance the fun stuff with the work you need to do for your classes.
