Every Fall semester brings its own troubles, but it also brings a renewed spirit. Almost every student has had a chance to refresh their minds and spirits in preparation for the continuation of their learning. And every new semester truly does bring a new start. A new chance to improve your GPA. A new chance to engage with clubs and sports on campus. A new chance to make new friends. A new chance to pick the brains of those wiser than us on campus. A new chance to challenge ourselves more than we thought was possible. A new chance to better ourselves socially, mentally, and physically. A new chance to become better writers in our fields.
Instead of dreading the semester ahead, think of the new opportunities that have been laid out before you. I challenge you to find new ways to become a better student, friend, and peer. But most importantly, become a better you.
