Any tips for an incoming college freshman student whose majoring in biology?
I'm currently stressing at the moment because I'm weak at chemistry so it worries me for it could be an obstacle for me to get my biology degree. #college #biology #school #chemistry #freshman

Stop stressing!! In the rest of your schooling, you will find classes that you excel at and some that will challenge you. You will also probably be surprised at which ones fall into which category! Some of the larger classes are frequently broken down into discussion size groups, generally led by teaching assistants, so that you have more attention on difficult problems. Professors also hold office hours so that you can go to them with specific problems and questions as well. All colleges and universities also have tutoring centers where they can help pair you up with students that have already taken the course and are willing to tutor in the class - I took a great advantage of this service for several of my classes when I was in college! Sometimes these services are for free and sometimes there is a fee involved - this will depend on your school. You can also form a study group with other students in your classes. If you are having problems, there is usually someone that understands the topic well and someone else that is also confused! Having a couple of people study together allows everyone to work together and gets a lot of knowledge in one place. Good luck!
