Surviving the first month

Honestly the first month hasn't been that bad for me. I've actually enjoyed it. I do have to say that the first week was a time of adjustment so it was kind of lonely at that time.
I have fallen into a schedule pretty quickly but it is still being modified. The first month for every one is always different. I've heard from some people that it was the worst time you'll have in college and others say that they had no issue. As for me, I was one of those no issue people.
My suite mates are some of the greatest people and I quickly bonded with them making this time period easier.

Some tips that I have for surviving the first month are:

1. Be open to new things- Now I'm not telling you to do illegal new things...no I'm saying to stop saying no when someone invites you to go somewhere like the beach or on a walk. You never know what relationships will spark when you're adventurous.
2. Meet new people- Be open to meeting new people. Don't close your mind off and think "I've been in the popular clique my whole life so I need them." So far college hasn't worked like that. The cliques are gone! 
3. Don't judge your suite mates/roommates- Don't go in thinking that your roommates are weird and that you'll never click. With that mind you won't, but if you go into it with a positive mind then you'll be able to get to know them quicker. Some of my suite mates have turned out to be some of my closest friends.
4. Give yourself time to relax and adjust- There will be plenty of time where homework will become your life and you'll become stressed. Allow yourself some time during the week, wether it be an hour or a day, for relaxation. Don't wait till the last minute to complete something; you'll cause it to become harder and more stressful when you do that. 

With these tips just remember to be yourself! No one likes a fake. You'll be fine. Make sure you go into every event wether it be a hang out or a stressful test, with a positive mind. God has you, give all your worries and anxieties to him.
