Hashtag Real Talk

dear incoming freshmen

High school. You've grown up hearing from countless adults, movies, and TV shows that it's going to be “the best time of your life.”  The Golden Years. Opening this new chapter of your life can be both exciting and nerve-wracking for many students. For some it can be the best years of our lives, for others, not so much. If you're an incoming high school freshman that shivers at the thought of high school, this episode is for you. As an incoming junior, I discuss things that have massively helped me navigate high school and how you can maximize those 4 years, because they sure go by fast. Whether you have a good or bad experience, high school is a time that shapes you into the individual you're supposed to be.
