Advice to incoming TYs?

Ok, this this month the blog challenge is to write post giving advice to incoming first years.
Well this is going to sound cliché regardless of how I try and phrase it, but here it goes!

-Well I don't know about you, but at the start of every year I promise myself I'm going to join a load of clubs and/or sports, and I never do, and a month later I go, "oh next year so" and it's a big vicious cycle, but seriously, you should use your TY to get involved in things, or you're going to be bored, like the point of the year is to do things we normally don't have time for, so take the opportunity while you can!
-IF you get an opportunity, just take it even if you're feeling lazy. Like do Gaisce if you want, apply to join the bank, student council, and if we get another musical, TY's always get most of the work because we have the most time!
- Ty has this habit of giving you all your projects at the same time, so one minutes you're bored, the next you're completely buried by it all, and I know that doing last minute work is a common thing - I've been doing it my whole life- but make sure you don't hand up rubbish, it stops you being too lazy and if you don't bother doing things you really will regret it..
- Talk to new people, like you actually do make so many more friends, but only if you don't completely restrict yourself to your normal group..
- HAVE FUN! Do remember, it is only TY, don't take everything too seriously, make sure its a year to remember :P

Well that was my cheeseball speech about what I would tell myself a year ago if I had the chance.

BYE :D
