Freshman year is often dismissed as "just the beginning," but in this episode, Sarah Bergin, Director of College Consulting at Evolved Education, explains why ninth grade quietly sets the tone for growth throughout high school. Rather than chasing perfection, Sarah encourages students and parents to focus on building strong habits, confidence, and thoughtful exploration. Freshman year is about adjustment, resilience, and setting a foundation academically and socially. Colleges are not looking for polished resumes from 14-year-olds — they're looking for evidence of growth, curiosity, and upward trends. This year becomes the baseline. How students handle new expectations, independence, and challenges matters more than flawless grades. When students prioritize consistent habits and balanced exploration, they build the confidence needed for the years ahead. You'll learn: Why freshman year grades matter more than many think The importance of habits, confidence, and appropriate challenge How extracurricular exploration sets the stage for growth Why parents should normalize adjustment and avoid projecting anxiety If your family wants guidance on setting the right foundation and building momentum early, reach out to Evolved Education for thoughtful, personalized support.

Today Fr. Gale is joined by Freshman Jess(ica) Kempf as they speak of the glories of Totus Tuus, the 1980s, and Kansas State University.

At a small college in northern Wisconsin, students whisper about a ghost named Wanda who haunts Memorial Hall.But that isn't the dorm this student is worried about.Assigned to McMillan Hall her freshman year, she expected homesickness and late-night study sessions — not the unmistakable sound of someone shifting in the bottom bunk of her empty room. At first, it was just creaking. Then it was movement. Then it was something she could almost see.When objects began sliding across the floor and lifting on their own, the unease turned into fear. And one night, she woke up running for the lights — with an injury she couldn't explain. Strangely, not every floor felt the same.So if Wanda wasn't in her building… who was?#RealGhostStoriesOnline #HauntedDorm #CollegeHaunting #WandaTheGhost #Ghosts #ParanormalEncounter #CampusGhost #TrueGhostStory #MidnightFootsteps #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?

In this episode of The Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel breaks down what freshmen (and their parents) should be thinking about as they wrap up their first semester of high school. From academic foundations to extracurricular exploration to strategic planning for summer, Thomas explains why the habits students build now will shape their options in junior and senior year — especially if they're aiming for selective or highly selective colleges. Rather than overwhelming families with long-term predictions, Thomas focuses on practical, immediate steps freshmen can take to stay on track, reduce future stress, and explore their interests with intention. Key Takeaways Academic Foundations Matter: Freshman year grades and mastery—not just passing—set the tone for your entire transcript. Weak foundations now become big problems in junior year. Teachers Should Know You: Asking questions, checking in after class, and building relationships early pays off later when rigor increases and recommendations matter. You Must Be Doing Something Outside of Class: Clubs, sports, jobs, community involvement—freshman year is about exploration, not perfection. But doing nothing is not an option. Summer Planning Starts Now: Applications for competitive or meaningful summer programs open between December and February. Freshmen need to be ahead of the curve, not scrambling in April. Choose Activities With Intention, Not Prestige: Freshman summer doesn't need to be fancy. Programs, jobs, volunteering, or personal projects all count—admissions officers care about why you did something and what you gained from it. Reading Is a Superpower: Regular reading builds critical thinking and reading speed, two skills that make a huge difference for future SAT/ACT prep and AP courses. Freshman year sets the foundation for high school. This episode walks you through how to self-assess, course-correct, and plan ahead without burning out or getting caught up in panic culture. Follow along on Instagram and TikTok @admittedlyco for more tips to stay ahead.

“Never take a class before 9:30…always have peanut butter and pretzels in your room…get your flu shot…you'll need more ramen than condoms…you fail in silence…call your parents…90% of bad decisions will happen during O-week…anchor your day in routines...don't piss off your roommate.” These are just a few of the observations Aidan shares with his dad, Ash, from his first year in college in order to separate “myth” from “reality” of what to expect during freshman year. Meanwhile, Ash tries to hold on tight while Aidan gives him a whole new perspective on what it means to “launch.” Season 5 kicks off with a bang, because the boys really don't hold anything back in this episode.

She talks about how her dorm ‘Quad' became her other new family and now she looks back at all the learnings that came with getting there.

Both broke the 4-minute mile barrier, and set countless state records, and in Connor's case a National Record in the 5k by running 13:37. Simeon had one of the greatest seasons ever by a high schooler breaking record after record and turning heads with every race.  Both run for The University of Oregon and are currently true Freshman.  Around this time last year, we launched The Call Room with them, which was not only widely successful, but also incredibly fun and entertaining.
