Good advice for a soon to be college Freshman?
Favorite Answer
-Don’t be the loud neighbor who always has their music blaring.
-Unless you’re sleeping/changing clothes/really trying to concentrate, leave the door to your dorm room open so that people can stop in and say hi.
-Join a club/student organization to meet people.
-Make friends with at least one person in every class you take so that if you miss class because you’re sick/hungover/didn’t feel like going/etc. you can still get the notes.
-Don’t overwhelm yourself with classes each semester…college isn’t just about studying.
-Make sure you have sandals for the showers and a plastic basket to carry all your shower stuff in.
-Make a homemade meal every once in a while. (My friends and I planned a big themed dinner every month my freshman year.)
-Don’t be afraid to ask for help in a class.
-Visit your professor during his or her office hours even if you don’t have a question about the material.
-If you’re going to drink, don’t do it in the dorms.
-Loft your bed because dorm rooms are TINY!!!! And at least this way you have a little more room.
-Don’t live with a friend…it can ruin the friendship.
-Find out if other people from your high school are going to be there so that you’ll at least know someone there.
-Email if you have anymore questions! 🙂
Good luck!
Join a club or two that interests you, but don’t overload yourself the first semester.
Time management. Write down study times and stick to them. The key isn’t to study too much or party too much…it’s to find a good balance of the two. That will make for an amazing college experience.
Make time to sleep. You’ll understand that better when school starts.
Don’t overload on pizza and junk food in the dining hall. Or if you do, take advantage of your free membership to your school’s fitness center (if you have one). Skip dessert, so you can drink beer. Or just have both for dinner. You only live once!
Meet everyone you can.
Don’t worry too much about a major right now if you’re undecided. Just let college life sink in for a semester. Then start planning the rest of your life.
Keep your eyes and mind open. Change and new ideas are everywhere!
The day before classes start, break out your campus map and schedule and find out where your classes are. Map a route from class to class so you’re not stumbling in 15 minutes late because you got lost.
Embrace your independence and freedom, but don’t let it intoxicate you too much. A failing grade and having to move back in with the parents is not ideal. You will not like it. Work hard AND play hard!
Love it, cherish it, take so many pictures. College is such an experience. Make it the best!
My best advise is that Study hard & have fun in college.
“Don’t take it easy, but make it easy”
I think u will catch my point. let me know if u need help!!
Best luck!!
