Take a pair of headphones with you!

Listening to your favorite song before you walk into a 200+ person lecture can sooth some of the stress. It can get very overwhelming when you have such a big class you can start freaking out right before you go in.

2. Go a little early to class!

By going to class early, you can sit in a spot you like and then see who sits near you! This is a very good way to make new friends if you are an introvert.

3. After each class go through your syllabus and highlight!

The syllabus really is a semester full of information in one packet. Whether the syllabus be one page of five, go through each page with a highlighter and match it to the dates in your planner. (Extra tip: give each class a certain color highlighter and pen for you planner!)

4. Pack a snack!

Trying to find lunch or a quick snack between your classes can be such a pain especially if you aren't familiar with the buildings. Packing a quick snack that you enjoy will take of some stress and even cure your hangryness.

5. Don't be afraid to ask for directions!

We all have been there where we can't remember where a certain building is on campus. Asking a random fellow student is perfectly fine!
