Youngster year [the second year] is kind of a quiet year. The “forgotten” year we liked to call it.
Your mid will return, after a fulfililng and, hopefully, exciting summer.
He/she is more comfortable with himself. Hopefully, the confidence gained over th e summer will translate to an exciting second year.

The second class does not midn them much. The firsties ignore them.
Classwork comes more naturally to them.
They are able to better manage their duties.

Until towards the end of the year, when teh reality of “signing up” comes up.
Still, it’s all good.
The Army/Navy game is more fun. There is a littlbe bit more freedom to visit w/ parents and others. Maybe an overnight. [This is why I recommend waiting until second year before going; you both will hae more fun.]

Anyway, enjoy it.
