If you’re a first-year student, here’s what upperclassmen want you to know before your first semester really gets going 👀

You’ll learn that…

✨ You don’t have to find your best friends in the first week.
✨ It’s okay to try a club, decide it’s not for you, and try something else.
✨ Asking for help sooner is almost always better than waiting until you’re overwhelmed.
✨ You’re allowed to change your mind about your major, your schedule, your friend group, or what you want your college experience to look like.
✨ You need to make time for things that have nothing to do with school.
✨ Everyone else is figuring it out, too.
✨ And somehow, eventually, this giant campus starts to feel a little smaller.

Your first semester is going to teach you a LOT. You don’t have to have it all figured out on day one. Swipe for some more advice and tips! 💙

Save this for when you need the reminder: you’re doing just fine. 🫶
