Excerpt
Freshmen entering Valparaiso University meet many new pressures and challenges. Over the years, these trials may change slightly in context, but they remain of a nature that all new students must face. Confronting peer pressure, competing for grades, quelling parental concerns, and maintaining scores similar to those earned in high school: these are some of the trepidations one encounters when attending an institution where the majority of freshmen graduated from their high schools in the top 10% of their class. Yet, first-year college students can find solace in the fact that they all share similar challenges together. Except me.
