don’t sign up for morning classes. allow yourself time to wake up, go get breakfast, and not be in a rush.
don’t take classes that end later than 5 or 6 so you have enough down time and study time in the evening, without having to overlap with dinner.
go to seminars on interesting topics that don’t necessarily relate to your major.
don’t take back-to-back classes. allow yourself to grab a snack or rest. you might also have to cross campus and not give yourself enough time otherwise.
check out ratemyprofessors.com before enrolling in a class.
take every extra credit opportunity.
drink as much water as you do alcohol.
don’t hesitate to call 911.
if you’re hungover, drink water, and eat bananas and saltines
nobody else has friends the first couple weeks either. you’re not alone.
leave your dorm door open when you’re in there and don’t mind distractions.
go to as many events as possible.
decorate your dorm with your roommate as an easy bonding experience.
make dorm rules with your roommate to set some basic boundaries in the first couple weeks of school.
empty your trash regularly.
keep a surplus of a quick snack, like cereal or granola bars, for when you’re running late or not hungry enough for the cafeteria.
bed bath & beyond, as well as daiso (or find a store), have good and relatively cheap dorm supplies.
save receipts for everything you purchase. figure out how much you spend per week on the bare necessities, and set a weekly budget slightly above that.
plan on spending an extra $100 on things you forgot for your dorm.
here’s a list of what you should pack.
check your student email very regularly. your class might get cancelled, or a free event might be held.
take advantage of free services.
don’t take your paid services for granted, either. do your homework and don’t sleep in class.
explore your school’s website for interesting or useful information.
