Welcome Class of 2017. Enjoy step of college and get involved. Well, I would just suggest
to actually start by doing your homework, because when I first got here the first time,
I did not do everything, and I fell behind really quickly, and you definitely want to
do all of your homework. Study hard and just stay focused, that's it. Get you a good pair
of rain boots because you will be the one stuck with no rain boots, no umbrella or anything,
and it is miserable spending the rest of the day. Keep good company from the beginning
to the end, because if you keep good company around, you will make it to the end. It is
very, very important. If you have a major that you want to go with, stick with it, don't
change. Find, um, a buddy, and, ask help from your advisors. Your college experience is
what you make it, and make sure to get involved, but always remember that your academics come
first. It's going to be the best years of your life. Do not come dressed like you are
going to prom! Don't be afraid to fail. If you get a bad grade in class, keep pressing
on, do not be afraid to fail. Take advantage of the opportunities that the University of
Memphis has. Study hard, but remember to have fun while studying too. It goes by real quick,
and enjoy it more, because you will come to this day and it will all be over with, and
so, really take time to enjoy yourself, and study, but enjoy yourself. Keep your grades
up from the beginning. People think freshman year is just for fun, but if you get behind,
it is really hard to catch back up, so stay on your grades. Never quit! A winner will
always win, but a quitter will never win, so hello, we are here to celebrate and have
a great day. Never, never, never, never quit! Yes! And nothing good happens after midnight.
