One tip I would give to incoming freshman is to BE ORGANIZED!!! Throughout high school, you can often get by without a planner and be fine. In college you will not be as lucky. I learned this pretty soon into the semester. I didn\u2019t buy one coming in because I thought I\u2019d get by but I was wrong. I was left in the state of mental breakdown trying to figure out all the due dates for all my classes. I got really lucky and was able to get a free passion planner through this commuter class. That passion planner was my best friend. I wouldn\u2019t have been able to get through my first semester without it. It gave me a sense of security. I wouldn\u2019t need to stress about what was going on because all I had to do was look at my planner. For all the incoming freshmen out there, go get yourself a planner. If you want to stay sane, this is the best way to begin to learn how to manage your time. You will need new strategies because the workload is next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My tip to incoming freshman commuter students would be to be aware of all your resources on campus. Take a commuter class that intends to help you recognize all the campus has to offer. Knowing myself, I would not go to visit all the different buildings if I didn’t have to. As a commuter, it is very tempting to leave campus right after your classes are over. I suggest that you take time to venture out and explore the campus. The commuter class forces you to visit and attend workshops or events. I first saw this as a burden, but as soon as I started going through the list I was grateful that I took the class. I discovered so many different study areas and places to do your homework. I also recommend that incoming college students try to immediately work at the three qualities I mentioned earlier. Constantly striving to master these qualities will ensure success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
