Welcome back Aggies!

I'm sure you all know that tonight is the first football game! I'm sitting here with our new ambassador Chris and he's pretty confident that this year's team will be a little more successful than it has in the past. Chris is a devout football fan- attending every NMSU football game and always hopeful for the Aggies. He's thinking this might be the season where the Aggies turn for the better. Nevertheless, the games are always fun "Whether we win or lose".

As the semester gets rolling and professors actually start assigning homework and projects, it always hits me like a big wave of stress. It's important to get into the swing of things right off the bat so it makes that adjustment a little more easier. Most Aggies want to get out to parties and social events whenever they can to meet new people and make friends. But now that the semester is just about in full swing I highly suggest that everyone sets up their priorities and remembers the main reason for coming to college. Work hard, then reward yourself. It's the best advice I can give to a new Aggies trying to figure out how to balance their new college life.

Well that's it for today. Hope to see you all at the first game!
