Jonathan Law Class of 2025 graduate Joey Richardson recently started his freshman year at Eastern Connecticut State University, where he is majoring in Psychology with a Concentration in Developmental Psychology and minoring in Music.

Richardson said he has had a smooth transition so far in college. He is involved in many different activities as he is getting used to the changes in his new lifestyle.

“My experience for college has been great so far,” Richardson said. “I’ve been keeping myself very busy, and I love getting involved in different activities.”

While at Law, Richardson excelled at track and he has continued his track career in college.

“Track has been going well,” Richardson said. “Practices are a bit more difficult though and as do my major, I’m taking two classes relating to it and so far I absolutely love them,” Richardson said. “It’s really solidifying my ideas about sticking with this major.”

Overall, Richardson has been loving his new environment.

“The shift has honestly been great,” Richardson said. “It’s been fun and the people around here make it really easy to adjust.”

Richardson has had to learn how to manage his time and what is important to him.

“The most difficult thing for me has just been scheduling everything and managing my time,” Richardson said. “There’s so much that I want to do it’s just hard trying to make sure I don’t overlap events.”

One piece of advice Richardson would give to the Law Class of 2026 is not to worry.

“(College) is not as scary as it seems, and it’ll be much more easier if you just try to have fun,” Richardson said. “Make memories, meet new people, try new things.”
