The first week at university is full of hope, wonderment, change, and self-discovery. The one sure thing is that it's entirely new, and you're likely to be different people by the end of this term, let alone next summer.
Take the time to consider your intellectual growth and your own role in the functioning of a university. Advanced university-level education is still uncommon for most people in the world. You have joined a learning tradition that goes back several centuries. Revel in your involvement in this unique human project.
Consider the exhortation the University offers you: nous sommes prêts (we are ready).
