Back to College Do’s and Don’ts


By: Songine’ Clarke
School is starting again and usually the first few days of a new school year are the most exciting for a college student: new classes, new people, a chance to get involved on campus, and a new year. To start your school year off right, there are some “do’s and don’ts” for college.
Do: Get Involved
Don’t: Bite off more than you can chew.
It’s great to get involved in a school club or two, but don’t stretch yourself too far. Concentrating on your grades and relaxing are way more important.
Do: Go out every now and then.
Don’t: Go out every day.
Definitely go out every now and then to have fun and let loose a little because college can be stressful. However, going out everyday could be a distraction, leaving you tired all the time. So, make sure there is a balance.
Do: Keep your old friends around.
Don’t: Limit yourself and not make new friends. 
Most likely there are a lot of new students at your school. Remember, just like you, they don’t know the ropes. So, they will need your help and most likely a friend. You can be that helping hand and friend to a new student. If you were new, you would definitely appreciate the help.
