Organization

So I tend to write about some or the most random things. Today I want to talk about organization. It is so important that you maintain organization within your experience here at NCCU.




First let me talk about the rooming situation, because I had to find out the hard way. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT try to bring everything you own because you can not fit it. My mom tried to tell me but, no, I just knew I was grown and knew what was right and I brought my entire room…SERIOUSLY!! Now I have no place to put it. It was really a waste of time to pack all of that stuff and bring it here to unload and not be able to fit it. So please take my advice and think very carefully about what you bring.



That’s on down the road so refer to that part the summer before you move in...but most importantly organization in the aspect of applications school work and academic purposes are vital to you now. Please keep up with all important papers that the university sends you and keep a record of everything you mail because you wouldn’t want to get down here and paper work is lost. Also make sure you use assertiveness when applying because papers get lost and if you are not notified then it’s the last minute and you’re left wondering why you haven’t received your letter. That goes for school work also….always have some type of system to keep track of due dates, and deadlines. As a high school senior you have so much on your mind. But whatever you do DON’T slack on your work; it will terribly hurt. So if need be get a huge calendar and write all deadlines and due dates so that you have everything you need done when you need it.



I can’t stress how much organization is vital to you at this point in your life. It could be the difference in that B turning into an A or receiving that scholarship or even with Financial Aid. It is true that the earlier your turn it in the more money you get towards school. So that’s my advice for the day until next time....

Reflections of a High school graduate, College Freshman

      So I first want to say advice to those choosing to attend NCCU: Study hard, and stay focused on your classes during your senior year because they will help you during your freshman year determining your freshman year class schedule.

      Try if you can to take a class at the community college over the summer or during the year if possible so that you get a feel of the college life. Have fun your senior year. Participate in extracurricular activities and contact any of us that are freshman bloggers because we have been there and we can relate. Also start thinking about what you want to major in because that helps to determine classes that you will enroll once you come to NCCU...but that's another subject. I've been thinking as I write what I would have wanted to hear as I started my senior year. One thing is that try not to get any F's because it can hurt your GPA and to also start applying for scholarships now because your not going to want to second semester, and most deadlines are January 1.
     YOUR GUIDANCE COUNSELOR IS YOUR BEST FRIEND RIGHT NOW! They can help you so much especially with applications as well as recommendations you might need. So, there’s nothing else I can think of but keep posted because life at NCCU is NEVER boring.
