“I just want to tell whoever is reading this that if you’re ever wondering, ‘Should I join this?’ or ‘Should I try that?’, remember that college is the place for you to grow, to have fun, and to have the resources to help you get back on your feet when you can’t do it on your own. Instead of ‘Should I?’ ask ‘Why not?’”
