Yesterday we sat down with Brody who is training to become a Plumber at Manhattan Tech after transferring from Lineman training.

What's the best part about studying at Manhattan Tech?

'It's actually a really chill place. The program feels very doable. In 2 years I'll be a fully trained plumber. I really enjoy the hands-on work and all the new information. You learn something new every single day!'

What is your advice for the seniors at Humboldt High School?

'Make sure you get the Humboldt Promise scholarship, and then just go for what you want! After senior year, you're going to be out in the big world, so you've got to choose something you really like to do.'

You've made a great choice Brody. Keep up the good work and have a great year in Manhattan!

Yesterday we spoke to Anna who is in her 2nd year at K-State now double-majoring in Philosophy & History (pre-law) after starting out in Political Science.

What is a challenge you have had to overcome?

'Definitely, living in the dorms. Sharing such a small space with so many people who were all brand new to me was definitely a challenge. This year I have a house with my friends. I'm already so excited and getting settled in. I love having my own space!'

Do you have a favorite memory from your freshman year?

'Definitely going to all the football games with my friends. There's nothing like cheering on the Cats at 'The Bill'.

What advice do you have for new college freshmen?

'My advice is to be outgoing. Don't be scared to say hi to people. The very first girl I ever talked to in my very first class is now my roommate! It's so important to put yourself out there. It's important to build a good community!'

How has The Humboldt Promise helped you so far?

'It's taken a lot of financial stress off my shoulders, because college is expensive. It's nice to know that I've got someone helping me and investing in my future. I have a job too but it's nice that I can just work a few hours and then focus on my studies.'

Keep up the great work, Anna! Wishing you an amazing year ahead.

This afternoon we met up with Chanlynn who is in her 2nd year at K-State studying Business.

What's something you've found challenging at college?

'Multitasking. It can be tough to get a good flow going because you're meeting so many people and they want to go out, and you've got class, and getting your assignments done. It's all going pretty well now, but it's a lot to balance.'

Do you have a favorite memory from your first year?

'Joining my sorority! We had an initiation where I got to find out who my sorority mom was. There are so many opportunities being in a great sorority house, like having more leadership opportunities in the community too.'

Any advice for our freshmen as they are starting college?

'Step out of your comfort zone. Don't be afraid to meet lots of people. Don't worry about being from a small town at a big school. Just be yourself. Be a leader!'

How has The Humboldt Promise helped you at college?

'It has helped tremendously! I wouldn't be able to do any of the extra things I'm doing now like living in a sorority house, or being in the Women in Business club. I think it's going to help a lot of other families because it encourages us to strive to go to any college we want and chase our dreams.'

Wonderful to hear you're enjoying your journey so much, Chanlynn. Have an amazing year! 💜🤍

We said hello to Cassidy at K-State today. Cassidy started in Agricultural Communication and has added a dual major in News & Sports Media.

What's a challenge you've had to face during your 1st year at K-State?

'I think sometimes the challenge can be finding out what you're really interested in and trying to navigate exactly where you want to go in your life.'

Any particular favorite memory from this past year?

'Finding my friend group was obviously a blessing, and then also the internship I got with K-State Athletics. Now I am a photographer for them, so that's pretty exciting!'

Any advice for students who are starting their freshman year? What advice do you wish you got?

'Just take every opportunity that's available to you. I mean, I never would have expected that I'd be on the field for football games. I got an opportunity and said... Oh, this sounds fun, I might as well try it! It has taken me a lot farther than I expected and even influenced my major.'

How has The Humboldt Promise helped get you where you are now?

'It gives me the freedom to actually enjoy college and not have to stress about the financial burden. I'm able to work on things I actually like to do and that I'm passionate about instead of working solely to earn money.'

It is awesome to see you thriving and doing what you love, Cassidy! Check out Cassidy's amazing photography work on Instagram:

Today we spoke to Keith, who is in his 2nd year at K-State studying kinesiology.

What's been your biggest challenge at college?

'School is great, so it's mainly just finding a job. I've applied to six different places!'

Any favorite memory from your first year at K-State?

'The dorms were so fun. Two of my roommates now are from the dorms, we're all really close. We all hang out before football games for tailgate. The dorms are like one huge community. I also started pursuing God more. I got to go to Kaleo Gulf Shores in Alabama for half the summer. Everyone was really nice and very welcoming.'

Do you have any advice for this year's college freshmen?

'Don't put off school work. It'll sneak up on you. As much as college is fun, you're here to learn and to achieve your goals. Accomplish what you need to first and then proceed to have fun. I think I've found that balance now. My room mates are all busy guys and know how to manage their time, so they are a good influence on me.'

How has The Humboldt Promise helped you?

'It has helped me a lot. I am fortunate enough to be able to go to college because of it. Without it, I probably wouldn't have been able to do this. Now I can pursue kinesiology, which will allow me to go to chiropractic school and eventually allow me to help more people.'

Sounds like your second year is off to a great start. Keep up the great work, Keith! 💜🤍

This morning we met up with Teygan, who is studying psychology at K-State.

What's been the best part of being at college so far?

'I love Manhattan! The city is a big part of why I chose this college. I love my people here too, I have amazing roommates! There's both a family and a student dynamic in Manhattan, so it's not all college students. You can have community while still having your own independence.'

Any advice for students starting their freshman year? What advice do you wish you would've had?

'Keep an open mind. Honestly, I think I was a little closed-minded before. I thought I was just here to do my school work and that was it, but you should definitely put yourself out there. Now I think I'm such a social butterfly, which I wasn't in high school. Keep your mind open to different possibilities, different ideas, and different beliefs. You're going to meet a lot of different people that don't have the same beliefs as you, and you might find it surprising that a lot of these people will become your best friends. Show your WHOLE personality from the get-go. College is a place to just be yourself!'

How has The Humboldt Promise helped you?

'Before we found out about The Humboldt Promise scholarship, I can remember sitting in my room so many times crying because l knew I wanted to go to K-State, not just for the education but the whole experience, and I didn't know how I would afford it. Student loans freaked me out, but now I don't have to worry about that and I can just be comfortable. It is such a massive relief and such a blessing. I am so thankful for The Humboldt Promise. You'll get to do amazing things as well as give back to your community at home.'

It was such a pleasure to talk to you today Teygan. Wishing you a fantastic year ahead! 💜🤍

Today we caught up with Teghen, who is studying Agricultural Economics at K-State.

How do you like it here at K-State and what's been the best part about college for you so far?

'I absolutely love it here, it's the best! My favorite part has been meeting all the new people. I joined a sorority and it's given me so many opportunities to help out in the community and get involved with our philanthropy and just meet so many amazing people! Next year I can live in the sorority house, so I'm excited for that.'

Do you have any advice for seniors at HHS for their last year of high school?

'Work hard and save up, because college is definitely expensive. Also cherish every second of high school because it really is a breeze compared to college! When you get to college, get to know your professors, and always get your homework turned in.'

Why should seniors apply for The Humboldt Promise?

'It's really one of the best things that Humboldt has to offer us. It definitely helps lift financial stress if you have that, and it's just a really good opportunity for so many kids.'

We sure miss you in Humboldt Teghen, and we are all so proud of you! Have a great freshman year! 💜🤍
