Tips and Tricks to Help
Don't be afraid to get help! The school offers a lot of
resources
in order to help you if you don't understand something. be it
TAs,
tutors, Office Hours, Student Organization Tutoring, or more!!!
If you
want to know more about these resources, feel free to reach out!
(I
know they can be a bit tough to navigate sometimes...)
GET SLEEP AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!! I really cannot stress
this
one enough. You need a proper amount of sleep in order to do
well.
Make sure you are eating properly and sleepin properly. You will
do
better if you do.
Remember to take breaks! Do things that you find fun! Be
it
participating in your favorite student organiation's activities,
playing board games with friends, or just chilling out. This one
is
vitally important. Take Breaks.
Worried about a friend? Contact Care! They're entire
purpose is to help-- help you if you need it, or your friend as they
need it too. It takes only a few seconds to fill out a care
report, and it can really help. : )
Make sure to keep up with your assignments. Very quickly, and
without you even noticing, you can fall behind, which will only cause
you stress in the future. Keep up with your assignments.
Remember, you are a freshman. It is OK to still be figuring
things out-- figuring out what you want to major in, minor in, or do
your cluster in. I only figured out I was doing a math minor
spring of sophomore year, and that's pretty early! It's OK to
still be figuring things out.
Study with friends! This one isn't for everyone, but it can
help! Sometimes, your professor will allow people to do homework
together as well, which can also help! (Make sure to check what
your class' policies on this are before anything else, though).
And, make sure to take breaks. If you don't take any breaks from
academics, you will burn out, and that is very much not good.
Participate in your favorite student organization's activities, or just
see what's going on around campus! There is always something
going on! Attending these things really can help you from buring
out.
