This is a hard one. As you probably know, or if you don’t know yet, you will. Navigating the waters of college is hard. There are a lot of things to take into consideration. Friends, school, homework, real life work, sleep, and worst of all relationships.
When it comes to classes, there is only one answer. Go. Even if you think you don’t need to, go. This is so crucial. Not only have you sacrificed literally everything to be here at this school. You are paying for it, or maybe your parents are paying for it. Regardless, someone is paying for it which is a huge deal. You need to go to class.
Believe it or not, these old professors actually know some things about whatever it is they are qualified to teach. Going to class has so many benefits. You can actually learn things that you may need to know to enter into the workforce.

I will continue to guide you through these rocky waters. Navigating is tough, and that is why I am here, to help you.
