College life is not easy to navigate. It doesn’t matter if you are a freshman or a senior, if you are not effectively managing your college life, you will struggle. I know this from experience since I did not always do well in college. Last year, I failed all my classes in my first semester and barely passed my second semester. I went on academic probation and wrote an appeal to UWGB explaining my poor performance was due to extenuating circumstances, and my appeal was accepted. I started taking summer courses which boosted my GPA up tremendously. From that point on, I have been dedicated to improving my education now that I am in a much better place and can access the resources I need.
Only completing the assignment will not lead you to academic success, sometimes you need help. One tip that has helped me is by reaching out to the learning center, working with a tutor, and talking to an academic success coach. This is helpful because a tutor will teach you how to understand and learn an assignment that is difficult to comprehend and complete by yourself. Reaching out to an academic success coach is also helpful because they can give you tools on how to study based on your schedule and your personality.
Studying is not meant to be the same for everyone because everyone is different. I have ADHD so the way I study is different than someone who doesn’t have ADHD. Knowing your struggles or how much you procrastinate can affect how you study, and it is important to know how in a way that suits you. Overall, it is important to reach out to the resources available on campus and not be afraid to use them since they are meant to help you. Know that you are not alone and never feel ashamed for asking for help.
