College: Just Keep Swimming

Being in college, is like swimming in a swimming pool. For example, when you go swimming one item you typically bring is goggles and when you are in freshman taking general chemistry you will need a pair of goggles. On a deeper level, throughout the semester you can experience the shallow end, and breeze through class material while other times you can potentially be drowning in content. College is also a perfect opportunity for you to “freestyle” through life and find your own way. Another similarity is needing floaties to relax when times get difficult, your community and friends are like your floaties in college. While swimming it is important to hold your breath, in college we typically get stressed and hold our breath but, as a student who has lived through it I recommend taking a relaxing breath when needed. It is important to take a deep breath and catch the breeze every once and a while. Enjoy your time, enjoy the classes, and most importantly enjoy the relationships that you make along the way. 

Swim at your own risk.
