College Update

[Freedom]

You are off to a great start! Three weeks, with so many news things happening, I'm not surprised friendships haven't had time to develop YET. They will.

BTW, I just noticed your siggy, not sure how long you've had it, that is hilarious!

Congratulations on making it through your first 3 weeks! For some reason, I think the beginning of every semester is always the hardest! It sounds like you are doing great.

It sounds like you are going to do some activities to meet people, but maybe you could form a study group for some of your more difficult classes and get to know people that way. I'm still a student (working on my PhD) and have gotten to know people in my program better this way for some of our stats/analysis classes by studying for tests with them. It's always nice to have friends who are going through the same things you are!

Also, about your reading- don't be afraid to skim! Especially if you have a lot of reading to do, sometimes it's just not possible to read every word and actually retain what you read. I usually skim and make notes on important points, it saves time and the notes refresh my memory. (That's my 2 cents from someone who has spent 7 years in college now ).

I know college is a lot of work, but you will get used to it. Best of luck!!
