5 Tips To Survive First Day At University/College
11:59
Hello flowers!
University is a big step for everyone, a huge change to their lives and a challenge as well. But that doesn’t mean it’s something to be afraid off. I know for a fact that extrovert people have it better at meeting new people and adapting to new situations. That’s why I think this tips for surviving the first day at university/college are more suitable for the shy ones like me that are too scared to speak out and approach other people. I know that if I was left alone the first day I went to a class, I wouldn’t have met some amazing people. So take a deep breath and let’s get started.
1. KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS
Its best to know the campus a bit before the first day, when the place is crowded and you have to figure were to go. I suggest you go there a week or two before the start of the semester. Everyone is still away and the place is really quiet. You can then figure were your classes, the cafeteria, the library,Student Support etc are. That way you will be familiar with the place and you won’t panic at the first day if for example you couldn’t find one of the classrooms.
2. THE "“NOT LYING”"
If you want to make friends and you don’t know how to start a conversation, simply ask if this is the right room, or were the library is. You may already know the answers, but it’s a really nice way to approach someone for the first time, and you are checking if your discoveries on your little pre-semester adventure were right. You can also introduce yourself to those who are sitting next to you inside the amphitheater. Or if you are too shy you can ask what the time is, or if they have a spare pen.But don’t worry. People there are just like you. They want to make friends too, so someone will approach you even if you don’t. But don’t relay to others. You don’t know if the person next to you wants to talk to you and they just are too shy. Great things come to those who are brave!
3. DON'T BECOME THE PHANTOM
It’s super important not to miss the first day. Or any other class to be fair, but especially the first day. It’s the day everyone is urging to make friends, the day everyone is talking to everyone, the day you can meet the most amazing people. After that everyone knows someone and they will be for the most part hanging out together. New people don’t get as easily approached by others as at the first day.
4. BE PREPARED
Make sure to have the right stuff so can take notes and don’t miss out on something about your studies. Check your bag before you go, and take with you things like pepper, a pepper folder so you white on, a pen or two, and you student ID. You can also check out my University Bag Essentials here.
5. SMILE AND BE POSITIVE
This is cliché but mindset counts! If you have a really negative mindset and believe you can’t survive the first day at university, or that you won’t make any friends, it might become true. Just smile, think positive and have faith to yourself that you will rock the first day. And remember: the best years of your life are now starting. Enjoy them!
