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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
