Well, after 18 months of college searches, visits, applications, essays, more visits and endless lists of to-dos, S1 is off and on his way to UVa (this week for Band camp). Doesn’t seem that long ago he was getting on the 1st grade school bus.

Good luck to all incoming 1st years. You are fortunate enough to have been given a true gift: the rare opportunity to be a part of the experience and tradition that is UVa. More than 3.4 million seniors graduated from high school in the US in June. You are one of the 0.1% who has earned the opportunity to go to UVa. Take the time every now and then to just stop, look around, and take it all in. Four years seems like a long time now - it will fly by. Make the most of it - enjoy it all!
