so, it’s almost the beginning of freshman year! what to do? here are a few things to get you started:
have you ordered your books/class materials yet? (if you haven’t- consider signing up for Amazon Prime Student! it’s free for the first six months, and obviously, everything is way cheaper there.)
what about basic supplies? (you’re going to need some basic school supplies, like always. think: backpack, binders, pens, pencils, a calculator, folders, & notebooks!)
some stationery recs by yours truly:
five-star notebooks, esp. in graph ruled for all you science nerds out there. for anyone not majoring in science/math, the college ruled ones are perfect!
pilot gel pens, yes, you’ve already heard of these (i’m sorry for bringing them up again)
post-it notes, a classic! how else will you remember everything?!
your average 49-cent index cards, from literally anywhere. write that shit down! flip through them whenever you have free time! (yes, free time will, in fact, be a thing at uni, contrary to popular belief).
have you contacted your academic advisor? (um, what are you waiting for? ask them any and all questions you have about your schedule, your program/major, or, if you’re undecided, what you should do to figure things out as quickly as possible!)
do you have your schedule printed & in your phone & pasted up on the walls everywhere to be memorised? (because you should. you need to know it inside and out. believe me, you don’t want to get confused about it)
have you tried to make friends? (whether they’re your roommate, your roommate’s friend, or another commuter you’ve met, or just some random kids from orientation, you need to start networking immediately. build your connections. no one can work alone.)
you’re all amazing & you’re all going to crush it! uni is going to be lovely.
this is just some advice for upcoming freshmen written by an upcoming freshman!
