Freshman newbie tips.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You finally made it to the big leagues and your probably asking<\/div>\n
yourself “what now?”\u00a0Adapting into your new college life can be a difficult time for any student. But don’t fret my\u00a0brothers and sisters because we have all been down that road before. Remember that it’s all part\u00a0of the learning process.\u00a0Here are a few tips to get your started.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
1.\u00a0The early bird gets the worm.<\/strong><\/div>\n
In this case, the parking space. If you decide to drive minutes<\/div>\n
before class starts, chances\u00a0are your already late. Make it a habit to show up at least 30 minutes prior.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
2.\u00a0Learn to take good notes.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Good note taking skills is essential. Make the information<\/div>\n
you take clear and concise. If\u00a0you’re lucky , some professors use Power Point in thei\u00a0r lectures and it doesn’t hurt to ask\u00a0to download some of them.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Apply for FAFSA every year.<\/strong><\/div>\n
If you haven’t realized it by now, textbooks and tuition are expensive. Getting financial\u00a0aid is a bonus and quite helpful.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4.\u00a0Create a WebAdvisor account.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Tired of waiting in line to register for next semester?<\/div>\n
Creating an account at WebAdvisor\u00a0enables you to register for classes early. Your WebAdvisor\u00a0account also keeps track of\u00a0your classes, grades, and financial status. The link can be\u00a0found at the University of\u00a0Guam website.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5.\u00a0Get an academic advisor.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Whatever degree you decide to pursue in, I can’t stress enough\u00a0the need of an academic<\/div>\n
advisor. They are a type of guidance counselor to keep you in\u00a0track through all the ruckus<\/div>\n
of college life. A great advisor would most likely be a prof\u00a0essor that specializes in your\u00a0own track.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6.\u00a0Register for classes with extra leeway of time in between.<\/strong><\/div>\n
I have found this useful if I wanted to study for test or prepare for a project. Doing this\u00a0makes you a little more confident and brushes away any unwanted anxiety.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
7.\u00a0Get your devices enabled for Wi-Fi.<\/strong><\/div>\n
You probably noticed that your laptop or tablets can’t get\u00a0into the universities’ Wi-Fi.\u00a0What you will need to do is bring them over to the Computer\u00a0Center. The aides there will\u00a0get you Internet ready in no time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\n
8.\u00a0Get your Student ID.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Your student ID isn’t just for showing off to people you’re<\/div>\n
in college now. The library and\u00a0the computer center actually require it to use some of their services. To obtain your
\nID,\u00a0head towards the Student Center. There you will try to locate the Enrollment\u00a0Management and Student Services Office. That’s where they make them and it only takes\u00a0a couple of minutes.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
9.\u00a0Make a payment plan.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Having trouble paying tuition? Go to the Administration Building and create a payment\u00a0plan. Here they set you up with a monthly plan to pay your\u00a0tuition in increments.\u00a0However, they do require at least 10% of your tuition to be paid first. So be prepared.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
10.\u00a0Breathe!<\/strong><\/div>\n
When the weight of assignments and deadlines start taking their toll, remember to breath.\u00a0It’s important to give yourself a break. Find a positive outlet, like reading or going to the\u00a0beach with friends.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These are a just a tips to keep in mind when you’re fir\u00a0st starting off. In time you probably would<\/div>\n
have come up with some of your own. Just always remember\u00a0that you’re not going through this<\/div>\n
journey alone.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
