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.
