Beginning University or College With Self-Confidence

With everything else going on, though you are at college or university for your education, classes may be the furthest thing from your mind. You may be nervous about starting out, including going to your first classes. Use these tips to help you adapt. Be proactive from the very start.

There is no one there to tell you what to do, whether you should get up early, or head to bed at a reasonable time, what or when to eat, what time to leave for classes, or even if you should go to class.

Be prepared for your first classes. Have the materials you need – a notebook or binder with loose-leaf paper, a couple of pens and you calendar in your bag, and keep it always ready to go. Be sure to get to each and every one of your classes that first week. Some classes are very full, and attendance is a factor.

Even classes you are unsure of you need to check out before you make a final decision. Buy the textbooks, new or used, and get any materials you need.

Take notes right from the first class – you never know what will be needed for writing an essay or taking an exam. Write down all due dates and any other information on your calendar right away, including time needed for studying, research or group work if you can.

With some simple planning, and a commitment to start off strongly, it is possible to have a very successful term, and still allow time for a social life.
