School is stressful, trust me I know. It is even more stressful when you are new, or even at the start of the semester.
From stressing over where your classes are to if you should drop the class to if you got a good professor, the first week of class stress definitely exists.I was worried sick about walking into the wrong classroom or getting lost or having utterly no clue what I was doing on my first day. I mean the stress literally kept me awake at night (given I have anxiety and can make things a lot more serious than they really are). But, if you're anything like me check out these tips!
A Few Tips To Overcome That Stress:
- Go to bed at a reasonable hour so you won't worry about oversleeping or being exhausted
- Walk your class schedule before that very first day (I found this super helpful)
- Look at professor ratings before you commit to an entire semester with them (may eliminate the stress of add/drop)
- Try to see if you know anyone in your class so you can walk together
- Look at the course description before registration to see if it is a good fit for you
- Wake up early enough to take your time getting ready, make your coffee, and (hopefully) get a bite to eat (SUPER IMPORTANT!!)
Most of all remember that you can do this and we are all rooting for you!
Let's have a great semester.
