Dear freshman me,
I know you're scared.
I know you're sitting in your dorm room, looking at the empty walls, wondering if you made the right choice. I know you're thinking about home. I know you're wondering if you belong here, in this country, at this school, in this major.
I know you think everyone else knows what they're doing.
They don't.
Nobody has it figured out. Nobody. The ones who look the most confident are often the most scared. They've just gotten better at hiding it.
You're 18. You don't need to know what you want to do for the next 40 years. You don't even need to know what you want to do next semester. It's okay to explore. It's okay to change your mind. It's okay to take a class just because it sounds interesting, even if it doesn't fit your plan.
The plan will change. Let it.
