(this one has a limited audience - but what’s new?)
Some of the best advice from my Fro-Co (seniors who volunteer as freshman advisors):
If you’re stuck in your room (due to the pandemic) open the windows. Exercise every day - outside if you can (pandemic). YOU, ain’t ALL THAT. Get used to it - maybe you were hot-crap in high school - but not HERE. You got a 1590 SAT and a 34 ACT score? Congratulations, you’re one of the average students. Never, ever, EVER miss a class (as a freshmen). Visualize your morning the night before and GET UP EARLY. Time management - TIME MANAGEMENT - TIME MANAGEMENT Complete assignments as soon as you can. You’re going to have 4 to 6 hours of homework every night - STUDY Procrastination will **** you - STUDY Go to events - be social - but leave early. “Popularity” isn’t important here - this isn’t high school. Don’t expect to meet besties right away. Don’t go to frat parties alone. Hookup culture can be toxic. Don’t date seniors - just don’t. Never get a razor cut, your ends will split.
