We asked our Leaders to share some helpful tips for our graduates as they prepare to begin college. Here's what they had to say:
Get involved!
Talk to new people, make friends, interact with professors, and find out what you enjoy doing.
Surround yourself with people who share your interests. These bonds will help you open doors to make new connections and offer you networking opportunities.
Take advantage of all the resources available on campus. Use the writing center and other tutoring services. They’re free and they’re there to help you.
Going to office hours is amazing for grasping the concepts and preparing for assignments/exams.
Plan out your week using apps like Google Calendar. You can also use your MTB calendar!
Think small picture vs big picture. Write down major deadlines and exam days on the calendar and when you want to start preparing for them. Organize your responsibilities while also making sure you make time for yourself. Prioritize your mental health!!
If you decide to switch majors/minors, don’t feel embarrassed! Embrace any changes made along the way. It’s perfectly fine to find your calling later on or take a different path.
Have fun and enjoy your first year at college!! Consider going to school-wide events and activities. Don’t overwhelm yourself and burnout before the finish line because remember in the end, it's a marathon not a sprint.
