Dear Accepted Student,
Congratulations on being accepted to Cabrini! You only have a couple more months before you will no longer be a high school student and even though this is a very surreal and bittersweet moment, know that it will be the best time of your life. These next four years will be absolutely incredible, but only if you want them to be.
The best advice we can give you is that life is what you make it. It is up to you to create a future for yourself, but what is so amazing here is that Cabrini gives and creates opportunities for you to succeed. This is the time to become the most incredible version of yourself. Understand that relationships are extremely important so make sure to spend time creating memories with the people you love and cherish the most. Remember to take your work seriously, but not too seriously – you don’t want to look back and think, “Did I actually enjoy college?”
Do not leave every weekend. Stay on campus and get to know your neighbors, the people in your building, and those in your classes because those are the people you will think of when you look back in 20 years on your time at college.
We are sure you are at the point where you are thinking about who your roommate will be and the reality is, you may not get along with that person, or maybe you will. But either way, remember that communication is the foundation to every relationship and friendship and without that, it will cause issues and failures.
Regardless on where you choose to spend your next four years, we chose Cabrini and it was by far the best decision we could have made. Cabrini is not a big school at all, it can be pricey and the food is not 100 percent wonderful all the time – what school really is? – But we have Cabrini pride.
This college allows room for you to grow and offers different tools that students need to utilize the talents that you acquire here. Cabrini is a small school definitely, but that is one of the things we love most about the school, besides the beauty of it. You do not get lost in the crowd and you are not just a number. It makes the student/professor interaction better and it is easier to get involved. The small school atmosphere gives you a chance to get your voice heard in a way that might not be possible in a big university. We are a small school dedicated to big, real and serious issues and fighting injustices in society. Students make a stand for things they believe in.
Wherever you choose to spend your next few years, just know that Cabrini has created an ample amount of opportunities for us and we only hope that you experience the same.
Sincerely,
The Loquitur Editors
