'You wait all of your high school career to get into college and I'm excited to get to do that. We’re all lucky to be in college, those of us that get to go.'
admitted that arriving at a new school, and starting another year of classes, can always seem a little daunting. However, with the right amount of preparation, and an organized space, you're truly capable of anything. "I definitely was very nervous when I arrived at college," she said. "I wasn't sure how to organize my life, and how to do it all on my own.
Even without Reese Witherspoon there to remind Ava about a messy room, she's still found that the act of going off to college has been enjoyable. "It's been a really awesome experience to be independent," she says, "and to have that responsibility of 'this is my space, and I get to do whatever I want with it.
Once the furniture has been selected and the room has been decorated, she suggests creating an area where you can get cozy. Everyone's version of cozy is different, but for Ava, she prefers a nice blanket, some popcorn, and Netflix. She also shared her desire to read more, telling, "You're reading so much for school that you don't really notice that you stop reading just for the sake of reading.
In the rush to settle in and get started on classes, Ava reminded students to enjoy the time they have at college. Although she's still a sophomore and has yet to decide on a major, she encouraged others to pursue "something you really enjoy and something that speaks to you." She plans to declare her major soon, but in the meantime, she's taking a moment to soak it all in. "We’re all really lucky to have this experience," she said.
