Things to remember before starting the school year:
These might not work for everyone but they’re worth a shot.
· Always have a positive mindset. I know it can be hard sometimes but trust me, it’s worth it. I did this for my first year of university and it actually made a difference for me.
· Your grades don’t define you or how smart you are.
· Always give it your all, that’s what’s important.
· When things get too much take a break. Especially if you’re stressed. Spend some time with family & friends or simply do something you love.
· Don’t neglect yourself. Self care is highly important.
· Write everything that you need to do in a notebook or on your phone so that you don’t forget anything. ( Homework, exam & quiz dates, presentations, etc )
· Take notes in class and write them in your own way.
· Don’t let what people say get to you.
· Stay hydrated! I often forgot how important this was and it affected me at some point. Get yourself a water bottle and keep it with you at all times.
· If your school/university has a clinic that has a telephone number (mine does) make sure you add it on your phone. I never thought I’d need it but one day I did and thankfully it was there. Better to be safe than sorry.
· Remember to eat! When you’re free and even when you have short breaks between classes.
· Try making a few friends in each class. Always helps in the long run.
· Try joining a club? Not everyone’s cup of tea but explore what they have, you might like something!
· Don’t over study. It’s just going to make you tired.
· Don’t be afraid if you get lost or don’t know what to do. Many other people are in the same situation.
· Also, never be afraid to ask for help from others.
· Try to expand your friends group. Having many friends on campus can help you a lot!
· Don’t compare yourself to others. You aren’t them. You don’t have the same goals or ambitions. You do you. Always.
· Get to know your dean and advisors. They help A LOT when things get tough or hectic.
· Work hard from the first day.
· Make a schedule to make things easier.
· Professors are going to stress you out so damn much but remember the student before you could survive, and so can you.
· Don’t base your course choice on what people say. Pick a course YOU want to take. Don’t go for something because everyone says its easy and don’t avoid it because some people said it was hard.
· And lastly, the first week is bound to be a mess and that’s okay, because we’ve all gone through it (you should have seen me when I first joined university) everything will fix itself eventually.
Hope I could help you guys. I start my second year of university next month so I needed to remember all these :D
