If you’re starting college, there are several things you’ll need to do first to achieve good results. Among them are planning your overall schedule, sorting the classes you will be taking this semester, deciding upon the number of extracurricular activities you can squeeze in, determining your working hours (if you have a part-time job), and so much more.

Starting college is exciting; starting living independently is a new adventure. Yet, sharing a dorm room with another student may be both fun and challenging. While most dorm rooms suffer from lack of space so that everything is shared—it’s inevitable unless you are lucky enough to get a single dorm room—in this article, we’re going to focus on the fun part, the one about redesigning it.
If you aren’t sure what you want to major in or you’ve chosen a major but aren’t sure if it’s right, internships for first-year college students can be a great way to find out. You’ll get the hands-on experience that’s necessary to determine if a major or job is right for you before you get too far into your college career.
You might have never thought about it before, but a nice pen and a good notebook can actually boost your grades. How so?
In 2014, a behavioral neuroscience study (the University of California and Princeton University) revealed that taking notes by hand improves students’ performance with conceptual questions more than using digital devices for note-taking. Besides, jotting the pieces of lecture or other information down improves retention and helps recall what you’ve memorized faster.
Now that you are ready to start college after all the hard work and the challenges of admission, it’s time to think about other pressing problems such as where to live and how to pay for your housing, what are your campus rules and how to adjust to them in the best way possible.
