What would your friends be surprised to know about you?

A few things.  First, I’ve been getting good grades since I’ve come here.  Second, I’ve dumped my bad habits for good.  Finally, I've learned to respect myself much more.

What would you like prospective BA students to know?

This year is what you put into it.  If you come here with a bad attitude and unwilling to work, you won’t get anything out of it.  If you go into it with a good attitude and accepting of what it is, you will take something from it, whether it be one year from now, five years from now, or later on in your life.
