College has a completely different schedule and learning platform compared to high school.

College is the next big step in life and can be stressful but it’s important to be yourself! I was worried about this step and didn’t know if I was ready or if I could make any friends. That said, being yourself, even if you are a wrestling fan as I am, can help you find your friend groups, which can lead to other opportunities, which can lead to … I think you get it! It can be as simple as saying hello to a fellow nervous classmate in your EHS 120 class or joining a club you’re interested in. Just take a deep breath and believe in yourself. The Bradley community will accept you, even if you are a wrestling fan like I am!
