Accepting Change


Do you have a choice? Change happens whether we are ready to accept it or not. Change can be forced on you by circumstance, or it can be embraced with joyful abandon. The start of a new academic year brings with it tremendous change for students who are new to college. It’s exciting. It’s scary. It’s frustrating. It’s wonderful. Day to day experiences create opportunities to adapt to change -- new people, new classes, new roommates. Some of it works; some of it doesn’t.

Deal with it. This is real life. Take it from someone who spent too much time looking back. The past is over. Keep your eyes focused on today and the opportunities that might come your way...today.
