Just Keep Swimming

When I first came to college, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I came from a small high school with a tight knit group of friends, and soon found myself lost. I had so much free time that I didn't know what to do with myself, let alone how to make new friends. I called my sister for advice, and she told me to be patient (something I'm not very good at), and give everything some time. As an older sister, of course she was right, and a few weeks later I felt like I had been on campus for years. Whether you're starting at a new school, a new activity, or are just feeling overwhelmed, don't give up! Pretty soon you'll feel like a pro, so like Dory says, just keep swimming!
