QUESTION: What was your biggest challenge adjusting to college like as a freshman? How do you feel you can help others cope with this challenge?
As a freshman at Syracuse University, by biggest challenge has been adjusting to the work load, College us about learning., growing as an individual, making friend's, etc. My counselor always told me in college I had to dedicate a minimum of 3 hours of studying for every class a week. I had to be on top of my deadlines, schedule, testing because no one would be watching over me every step of the way like in high school, where I always had teachers reminding me of assignments and exams.
I've learn this year, how to manage my time wisely, making time for both fun and work. I learned to motivate myself to do everything that had to be done. I think I could share my knowledge with other freshman, hopefully so they don't make the same mistakes I made my first semester at Syracuse.
