Consider the connections between high school writing and college writing. In today’s daily write, make a list of “advice” to high school students coming into college composition. What would you tell them?
This Was Supposed to Clearer
That it’s been ten months since I started my new life here in Oxford seems impossible. My friends laugh at my wonderment, saying that it feels like we’ve been here for decades already. But this first year has passed by in a flash. Soon, my life as a student will be over and I will be left standing here wondering where all the time has gone.
I head down to the conference room of Ventress Hall where there’s three administrators sat before me waiting to start the interview. I make sure I’m sitting straight and am engaged in everything they say. I wait my turn and answer each question the best I can. I breeze through each question comfortably until the question “What would you tell an incoming freshmen to do to make the most of their first year?”
That question stopped me in my tracks. The only thing I could think of is time itself and stopping to actually live in that moment and savor the time I have here at Ole Miss.
