Keep introducing yourself to fellow students. Those interactions will help you over the rough times which may discourage you.
Keep managing your time effectively. Self-discipline is the key to academic success.
Try not to get too upset when it appears you are getting the runaround. Keep looking for, and using, the information you get about how your school works.
Don't forget: fall final exam make-ups!
Know the requirements and career opportunities for your major before selecting it. Decide on a major, if possible. It will help you to focus better.
Don't get behind in your studies. Go to class. Keep up with your assignments.
Don't spend all your time studying. Keep reading campus bulletin boards and newspapers for announcements of activities which might be of interest to you.
Try to get actively involved in something. Don't sit back and wait for people to come to you.
If you have considered dropping out, don't feel you are the only one thinking that way. Many students have similar thoughts. Most stay in school. Talk with a friend, advisor, or faculty member if the thoughts persist and are bothering you. Most faculty members try hard to get to know as many students as possible. Don't be afraid to talk to them about academic concerns or problems of a personal nature.
