1. Walk your class schedule before classes start

Before classes start, walk through campus and find all your classes and find ways to get there. That way in your first couple weeks, you don’t have to stress about finding your classes. 
2. Keep yourself from getting locked out!
Tumblr media
Clip your keys to a lanyard or id case holder. And use a nifty command hook next to your dorm room door.
You can also leave a sticky note reminder to make sure you don’t forget your essentials as you leave!
3. Screensaver your schedule
Tumblr media
Screenshot your schedule and set it as your phone lock screen! That way you will always have your schedule handy and ready to go.
4. Build up your GPA in the beginning of the semester/quarter

Don’t slack off on the easier classes just because they’re a breeze. You’ll want those easy A’s to balance out the harder classes come junior and senior year. Even if it’s a GE, put in the effort to get those A’s. Trust me, you will thank yourself later!
5. Tape a dryer sheet over your fan to make your dorm smell better instantly!
