Good morning,
Still a bit hungover from this weekend and full of free pizza from student organizations? Yup, that means today is indeed the first day of fall semester. Here’s some tips to make it through the first week of classes:
Actually read the syllabus
Not only is it just a good idea for planning out your semester and staying on track, but some sneaky professors will get you with a pop quiz on its contents.
Take some time for yourself
Just because it’s syllabus week doesn’t mean you need to be silly all the time. The first week can be busy, stressful and exciting. It can be easy forget to take care of yourself. Take naps and eat some square meals — you’ll appreciate it in the long run.
Be flexible
On Monday night, if you lay in bed and stress that taking four back-to-back 4000-level classes was maybe not the best idea, no worries. It is not too late to drop classes and add new ones. There’s nothing wrong with changing your mind, and you may stumble upon the best class of your college career in a spur-of-the-moment switch.
Find your classes and campus shortcuts
Do you know that going through the aquatic center is a quick way to get from Baker to Walter Hall? Knowing where you're going and the best way to get there can make your life a whole lot less stressful. Take a second to know where your classes are and think about you plan of action to get from one side of campus to the other in less than 10 minutes.
