This Wednesday we talked with Taylor Brown, who is a 2011 Camp War Eagle Camp Counselor. Taylor is from Pulaski, TN.
Why did you choose to become a Camp War Eagle Counselor, and what does this experience mean to you?
I wanted to become a Camp War Eagle Counselor, because my Camp War Eagle experience was great! I enjoyed being at Camp War Eagle, learning about Auburn, watching the skits, meeting new people, and I had an awesome counselor. Camp War Eagle really got me excited to come to Auburn in the fall. I want to pass on my amazing Camp War Eagle experience to incoming freshmen.
If you could give one piece of advice to an incoming freshman, what would it be and why?
One piece of advice for an incoming freshman is to use your time wisely. I cannot stress enough how different college is from high school, and you have to learn how to manage your time. There has to be a healthy balance between academics, involvement, and free time. In order to achieve this balance, there has to be structure and your time must be planned out daily.
What do you hope the freshmen will take away from their Camp War Eagle experience?
I hope that Camp War Eagle gives every freshman an idea about college life at Auburn University. There is no way that someone can explain to you what Auburn is like. You must truly experience it to fully understand it. When the freshmen leave Camp War Eagle, I want them to feel that they are a part of the Auburn Family and proud to be a member of the Auburn University Class of 2015!
Why did you choose to attend Auburn University?
I had alwasy considered Auburn as one of my college choices, but I was not sure because I am from out-of-state, and I did not know anyone attending Auburn. After attending Talons Day, I knew that Auburn was the right fit for me! I felt at home because of the atmosphere of a large university in a small town, all of the friendly and helpful people, and Auburn’s great traditions! I have truly loved being a student at Auburn University!
WAR EAGLE!
