Hi Sam,
I heard that you are starting college soon, and that is so exciting because it’s a whole new chapter in your life. You get to meet new people and make lifelong memories, but as someone in college, I am here to tell you about all the things that you can expect for the four years you are there. There are going to be new friendships that you will make because you will meet people from all walks of life, and some of these connections may become lifelong friendships. Be open to new experiences and try to connect with others. There is also going to be that academic challenge because the courses are going to be more demanding, with heavier workloads and higher expectations. Be prepared to manage your time effectively and develop good study habits.
With a heavier workload, you need to have good time management. College can get busy with classes, assignments, and social activities. Stay organized and create a schedule that works for you. Prioritize your task and make sure to make time for studying, self-care, and having fun. This next piece of advice might be the most important because, with the number of things that are going to get thrown at you, you need to know that reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, but strength. College is a challenge, and it’s completely normal to face bumps along the road because, trust me, we all do. There is academic support, mental health resources, and career guidance services in place to help you whenever you may need it. Lastly, enjoy the journey! College is not just about getting a degree; it’s about personal growth, making lifelong memories, and discovering who you truly are. Embrace the ups and downs, celebrate your achievements, and cherish the friendships you’ll make along the way.
