On the eve of graduation, Blair’s departing seniors offered advice to underclassmen.
Thomas Menoni ’18 Jade Torres ’18
“Go out
and do something. Go make new friends. What makes Blair a special place year after
year is its unique blend of athletes and scholars, artists and jokesters. It’s such a tight-knit community, and it would be a shame if you weren’t able to take full advantage of it throughout your time here.”
—Luke Corrado ’18
“Appreciate
every single moment at Blair, whether it’s good or bad. Take
advantage of every opportunity, and never be afraid of the
growing pains of life.” —Helen Mercedes ’18
“ There
is not a perfect piece of advice that would apply to everyone, for Blair is unique and special
to everyone in a different way. With that being said, follow
your heart, and allow yourself to be involved in everything this School has to offer. Blair is so amazing in so many ways, and the more involved you are, the more special your experience will be.” —Willy Kaiser ’18
“Don’t
take your work too seriously freshman year; that’s a really special time to build friendships.
During sophomore year, use the library as much as possible— it’s a beautiful building, full of friendly and kind people. In
your last two years, find a way to make your time here really meaningful. It goes by way too fast!” —Katie Peacock ’18 BLA IR BULLE T IN 19
