Advice to New and Returning Greyhounds
As a senior, I have learned a lot about myself and the world around me during my four years at Moravian. The period of growth between freshmen and senior year is monumental. I came to school at seventeen, now I am twenty-one and this year I feel so much more free. Change can be scary and uncomfortable for a lot of people; I know it was for me. To assist everyone during this period of change, I have written each year a letter to hopefully boost your confidence, as well as to share some of my own experiences transitioning from freshman, sophomore, junior, and now senior year. Good luck, and I hope these words can offer you some help or solace.
