As a first-generation student, I will always advise a freshman to ask for help. When I was adapting to college, it was scary.

Next, I will advise them to use a planner or calendar to keep track of assignments, deadlines, and events. Staying organized will help you manage your time effectively. Lastly, be bold, make new friends, and build relationships with classmates, roommates, and professors. College is a great opportunity to expand your social circle. This can be accomplished by joining clubs and organizations that align with your interests. It’s a fantastic way to meet like-minded people and enhance your college experience.
