DANVILLE, KY—Although they've only been on Centre College's campus for one month, the six first-year students making up the My CENTRE Life 5 cast are adjusting well.

As their first year unfolds, the members of the cast will continue to document their lives at Centre through journal entries, photos and videos. New photos and videos will be added each episode, so be sure to follow the cast members all year!

The newest episode features the anxieties and hopes each felt during "The Night Before Centre." In this episode…

Josh believes that the "new life" he's about to experience may be even better than home-cooked meals.

Koen recalls his "day before America" and puts childhood behind him.

Victoria experiences the calm before the storm of entering college.

Katie burns the midnight oil as she prepares to fly east to Danville, Ky.

Natalie grows nostalgic about the "end of a era."
