Pilot

I'm gonna tell you an incredible story; a story about how I became a Paladin.  25 years ago, I started my journey towards becoming a Paladin.  It was way back in 2012, when I first applied to Furman and was accepted.  I know you too were just accepted and I wanted to tell you that I know exactly what you're going through.  Nervousness, fear, anxiety, and excitement- those feelings are going to be your friends until you finally arrive on campus for your first day of college.
June 16th, 2012 was a day of great excitement for me because I finally got everything ready for orientation.  I was going to orientation the following week and I couldn't wait.  I was excited to meet new people, but was also a bit nervous.  I'm sure you guys can relate.  While I'm catching you up on how I became a Paladin and my journey through the summer before college started, I've got some interesting stories to tell you about my life, including lessons I've learned and advice that you guys may be able to use in the future.  You guys should get comfortable because this is going to take awhile.
