Editor's Note: Here's to the New Kid

There has always been an unfortunate stigma attached to the new kid. No one really knows who he is, and no one is particularly interested in finding out. But out of the new kid’s anonymity comes one of the greatest opportunities of a lifetime: the chance for personal rediscovery and reidentification. The ability to re-evaluate who she wants to be, and the chance to be that person to the world.
So here you sit. The new kid. One of 17,000 students in this Brick City you’ll call home for the next four years. No one here knows who you are or what you’re all about. And maybe, like so many others, you don’t either. Here, stretched out before you, is your perfect opportunity to find out. That’s the true beauty of the next four years; not the riveting coursework, or the crazy tiki-themed parties, but the gift of a chance to look at yourself in the proverbial mirror and decide who you want to be, and the freedom to become that person.
Today, we are both the new kid. We both have the chance to reinvent ourselves. I, for one, can’t wait to see all the amazing things that you’ll do, and the amazing people you’ll become over the next year. I look forward to meeting you, to telling your stories as you write them, to watching you discover who you really are, and to sharing what you uncover with the world.
So here’s to the new kid, and to his endless possibilities.

My only complaint is that you sign your last name like "Arm". Otherwise looks pretty boss. |
