• When picking classes, I suggest taking 3 Gen Ed Courses and 2 courses that pertain to your major. This will allow you to pluck away at general education requirements will also starting your prerequisite classes for your major (and minor if you choose or are required to have one).

• Don’t do the bare minimum. Exceed expectations and set goals for yourself! Slacking off and limiting the amount of classes you take will only hold you back.

• Go to the football games.

• Try something new.

• Get involved on campus! You will meet amazing people, pick up new skills, learn how to network, and it’ll also push you to pay more attention to your grades.

~I recently joined a sorority and I love it! It pushes me to be on top of my grades, I’ve met some of the sweetest people ever, I’m always getting involved on campus because of it, and we dedicate our service and donate our money to an amazing cause! ☺️ So if you’re interested in Rushing, I highly advise you to give it a try

• When picking your classes make sure to look at your Degree Audit and Rate my Professor. Yes, you will have an advisor but it’s ultimately your responsibility to pay attention to what classes are required for you to take in order to graduate.

• Unless you have a high grade in a class, attendance is not required, and your professor posts the notes online, DO NOT SKIP CLASS FOR NO REASON. You will miss out in important material and attendance is typically a portion of your grade.

• If you have a roommate, try to reach out to them before you move in. If you’re able to, try to find your own roommate opposed to the random roommate option...trust me. 😐

• Pay attention to your health. Both mentally and physically. Talk to people when you are stressed and allow yourself to take breaks.

A lot of people say the Freshman 15 is a thing but it’s really not as long as you’re paying attention to your health habits.

• Get a medium sized planner! For the most part, professors aren’t going to constantly remind you when things are due. It’s up to you to reach out to them and pay attention to the Syllabus for important test dates.

• Find out where your classes are a few days before classes starts. It’ll suck if you’re lost/late on the first day.

• If you’re a procrastinator, I suggest getting ahead of your assignments. Complete them before the due date so you don’t have to rush to finish them.

• Have FUN and make memories!!!! This is a great time to put yourself out there and try things you’ve never done before. Don’t be afraid to be goofy with your friends because these moments are ones you’ll always remember.
