FOLLOW DANI IN TURKEY!

Hey guys! Makes sure you give danielaucmsfc a follow and take a look at her experience studying abroad in Turkey!(:

[danielaucmsfc]

Dani takes Turkey part one:

Let me start off by saying Turkish people are soooo NICE!

The University I am staying at is super HUGE nothing even close to UC Merced. It’s also on this huge mountain or hill so there is sooooo many stairs and so much walking. Lets just say I don’t have to worry about leg day at the gym anymore haha!

I started my orientation this Monday and I’m 10 hours ahead of you all so its already nighttime for me here. Which is a total struggle I haven’t been able to sleep at all at night!! It’s really going to take a while for me to get used to everything here. The food is so much different to. Lord help me! hahah

On the bright side I have meet people from all around the world, it’s amazing! So many people are also staying here a whole year. I definitely could not do a whole year! hahah I already miss home so much! I just hope I start to get used to everything soon before I have a mental break down!!

I hope you all are starting this semester strong and staying motivated! We will get through this together!

Glad to hear that our coworker is getting a new experience in Turkey! Enjoy it!

The first Monday of the semester.

Yes, we have gotten halfway through the first Monday of the Fall semester. I hope it has been going well for you all, because it has been extremely tiring for me.. haha. Let’s keep it up and make this semester a GREAT one!

Becoming a college student

becoming a college student is so stressful, fun, amazing, scary, weird, insane, cool and just about every adjective can fit into here but at the end of the day being a college student is about expanding your knowledge and becoming a better individual. Good luck to everyone starting college and remember to enjoy the ride even if at times you hate it. 

[dianaucmsfc]

So inspirational.

Just a few more days until Summer Session B & C are over!

You can do this bobcats! Just think of how much sleep you’ll be able to get once you’re done with finals!

Need help understanding your billing statement? 

No Worries! The SFC can help! 

The Financial Aid office has posted on my bill your “Authorized Aid Balance” is how much financial aid you have to cover your “Overall Balance”. 

If the amount is negative under “Bill Balance” or “Pay Now” then it is how much you’ll receive as a refund, but if it is a positive amount then it is how much you need to cover out of pocket by Wednesday Aug. 19.

Still need some help?

Don’t worry if___ over finals week.

You gain weight- it’s perfectly normal to eat when you’re stressed

You cry/feel angry

You breakout- stress causes spots

You doubt your abilities- you are awesome!

[dianaucmsfc]

EXACTLY!! No need to worry guys! We can just blame everything on finals week hahah

The important thing is that you are all studying and preparing yourselves for your finals! FEAR NO TEST.
