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.

What the Comenian Staff did over the summer
Usually, summer is my least favorite time of the year, especially during my college journey. I’m not a fan of the sweltering weather that leaves me desperately seeking the cold embrace of an air-conditioned building, and I always get a nice kick of seasonal depression that leaves me entirely demotivated. And … this summer was honestly no different, but it was a lot better than most!
