Now, as you go off to college, you are on your own, possibly thousands of miles away from home. If you are like most college freshman, you have been living with your family for the last 18 years. Remember that your education is the reason that you are at college.
Don’t get behind in your reading, because it can be very difficult to catch up. Classes are often taught differently than in high school, and it is essential that you attend all your classes, do the homework, and ask for help if you need it.
In addition, be prepared for the academic adjustment that comes with college. Also, drink plenty of water, wash your hands often, and try to take a break from all the studying and socializing to get a good night’s sleep. Eating right can be difficult in a dorm cafeteria, but it is worth the effort to avoid the dreaded "Freshman 15." So is exercising regularly even when your schedule is busy. As you make the transition to college, make a real effort to help yourself stay healthy. College dorms are a petri dish where germs can thrive and sicknesses get passed around like a hot potato. With this in mind, I would like to offer some advice to those beginning college, and some reminders for those of us who are returning students:įirst, the basics. After two years of college, my experiences and observations have given me some insight into the common obstacles that come with the adjustment to college. But for the freshmen, it is the beginning of an exciting adventure into the unknown. For many, this means returning to a familiar campus, classes, and friends. As the summer comes to a close, students across the country prepare to head back to school.
