Think about the new experiences that you have had, the difficulties that you have overcome and the new people you have met and the life skills you have acquired this year.
Remember what it was like starting your first week, how did you feel and what emotions did you experience? Excitement, trepidation, fear or did you feel overwhelmed. You might have benefited from some advice, opinions and insight from others that have experienced the same transition.
What might you say, do or give to next years graphic design students to make the transition into the student experience, particularly this course more welcoming?
