Get into a time machine. Set the dial back a few months, years, *gasp* decades, and you meet your Freshman self.

What would you say to yourself?

I’m looking for submissions to be included in this blog…Write no more than 500 words a short letter to your First Year Self. Knowing what you know now, what would you recommend? What words of advice do you give? What do you want “yourself” to know about yourself now?

Have at it. Maybe while we’re at it, I have a prize for the best entry. Email submissions to firstyear(at)usfca.edu with the subject line: Letters to My First Year Self. Make sure your entry has a title, your contact information for verification, and for bonus points, a pic of your first year self.

You don’t have to be Don to participate. Seriously. Let’s have fun with this one. Your deadline is Valentine’s Day, 2012! Best letter gets an iPod Shuffle. The old school one, but hey, it’s an iPod!

GO.
