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....
