A freshman asks for advice. The answer: use your free time to explore new interests. Those hobbies might become the activities that actually matter in college.
What advice would you give yourself if you were giving advice to a freshman?
Probably make the most time— make the most of the time you have. Like, even if you have a lot of free time, a lot of that was just sitting around not doing fun stuff. So you could have used that to pursue a new passion or a new hobby. A hobby or something like that. Yeah. And then that could translate or turn into like, um, something like an extracurricular that you really like and really enjoy.
I love that advice. That's brilliant.
