Getting ready for your next phase of life is exciting and scary. Look at it as a chance to develop the best version of yourself. Go to the orientation and participate in as many activities the college offers before school starts. It will give you the opportunity to learn about the school and make new friends.

Hello Halani, drawing from my own experiences, I urge you to embrace the thrill of exploring new territories and never hesitate to seek clarity by asking questions. Rest assured, you won't be walking this exciting path alone. I encourage you to bond with your fellow freshmen and enjoy this shared experience. Wishing you all the best on this adventure!

Read through the entire course catalog. You can skip the information about majors you are definitely not interested in. If you were not given a course catalog then read through the school's website.

Hi Halani! First off, congrats on this exciting new step in your life! There will be a lot of changes during this time, so aim to put yourself out there and build a group of people where you feel safe and happier. Attend school events, go to club meetings, talk to your classmates, and of course, prioritize your academics. Having a good support network will help ease the stresses of getting settled to a new life, navigating hard classes, and maintaining an overall good well-being.

Hi Halani!
A possibly creative idea would be to create and implement a "Weekly Reflection Routine." For example you can set aside some time at the end of each week to reflect on what went well, what didn’t, and what you learned. Write down your thoughts in a journal or discuss them with a friend or mentor. This practice could help you stay aware of your progress, recognize patterns, and make adjustments to improve your experience. In other words it could work as a proactive way to stay engaged with your goals, manage stress, and ensure you’re making the most of your college journey.
Best of luck!!!
