College!

Yesterday was my last first day of school

After this semester at JWU I will officially have a Bachelors Degree

It feels so good!!

So since my first day was yesterday,

I saw a lot of girls with their end of summer / beginning of fall style

I also saw a lot of freshman just looking down right lost....

I wanted to share my thoughts on my fall essentials and on my campus tips.

A few of my fall must haves:

New bag

New water bottle

Fall boots

Red lipstick

Yogas

These items are useful every fall, they aren't based upon "trends"!

A few of my new to campus tips:

Always email the professor ahead of time about your books 

(it can save you some serious money!)

Read the syllabus

(you will learn facts like if your final is online or open book!)

Pack snacks and water

(breaks are usually only 15 minutes if you have back to back classes)

Ask for help!

(do not walk around afraid to ask for help, you will waste your whole day)

Figure out your "style" of learning

(printing the powerpoint, bringing your laptop, handwritten notes)

Go to class!

(nothing is worse than skipping and missing a quiz)

Always have a few extra dollars on you

(you may have to pay for parking or coffee or a ticket to an event on campus)

I know these tips may seem like something you heard from orientation

but didn't think much about. 

Well, from a senior's point of view, think about them.

You will be surprised ;)

Here's to a great semester!
