Your last first day is always bittersweet, you are sad about closing such a memorable chapter but also exciting because you get to turn the page and explore new opportunities. Here are some tips on making the last year the best year yet!

1. Network- Of course it's important to network for future job opportunities(LinkedIn is life) but also reconnecting with friends you have made over the years. See what everyone is doing and make those lasting connections! You never know where you going to end up and it's always nice to have friendly faces to turn too.


2. School Activities- This is literally your last chance to get to be a part of your schools community. Your interests can range but there is going to be a group out there that is for you! This could be one of the last times you find time to explore all your different passions.


3. Internships- I can't express to you how important this one is y'all! You don't know what you want to do until you try! (Also there are a ton of paid positions)


4. Make a bucket list- Get your closest friends together and make a list of things y'all have to do together before you graduate. I have personally added dancing in the school fountain at midnight to my list!


5. Study- Guys, let's be real, this is still school so make sure you schedule in time to get your work done, meet with professors and study for exams. #werk


These are just a few of my tips to make the last year the best year yet! If you try my tips or have anything comment below!

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
