Upperclassmen Advice for the First Week Freshman
GCAP Services

Coming into my freshman year of college I had no clue what to expect, I just knew from the countless remarks from everybody I knew saying "You know it's not like high school." well if it's not like high school what is it? But thankfully I found some advice that helped my transition be a tad less hectic and a little more fun.

Ways to not look too freshmen

1. Make Your Schedule Your Lock Screen: "It doesn't make it so obvious that don't know where you are going." - Sophomore

2. Don't always travel in groups: "Spend some time with yourself, it since it may be the first week and you not want to but you should connect with yourself" - Junior

3. Never correct your professor: "Don't, chance are, they either know what they are doing, and if they don't, they have enough skill to figure it out." - Sophomore

One thing I wish knew freshmen year

1. Branch out ASAP: "Do not just stick with your roommate or the group of friends you made at orientation, there's a whole group of people you haven't explore yet." - Junior

2. Stop taking things so seriously: "It's okay to breathe to and relax sometimes" - Junior

3. Do not fall into peer pressure: "It can be useful tool for good things or a horrible weapon for others." - Senior

General advice

1. Find the balance: "It's okay to party and have some good times just remember you are here for school most importantly" - Alumni

2. Make a day to do your laundry: "Or else you will be with zero clothes and no will to do your wash" - Alumni

3. Wear shower shoes: "People are gross, you are gross, you don't know what kind of gross is on the floor." - Sophomore

As I and the rest of my freshmen class try to find our way through freshman year, this guide can remind us that college can be crazy stressful but also crazy fun.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
