College Academic Management How To's

By: Bella DeFranco

Obviously, the most important part about college is the academics. To burst any bubble right now, it is different from high school and most education experiences you've had before it. It will advance your level of independence in academics just as much as going to college does for yourself as a whole. To be brutally honest, there's barely any hand holding but it's the most rewarding experience after being humbled.

Being a freshman in college, you have your GE classes that everyone has to complete before major focused upper division classes. These to me are like more difficult courses where the topics covered are those you brief in high school. They are either in regular classrooms or in big auditoriums where it's 40 people compared to 130 people.

This can be overwhelming and intimidating at first from finding where your classes even are, to then how they operate. But, go with the flow and take it a day at a time which leads to you truly getting the hang of it. Every one else is in your shoes even older year college students go through the academic adjustment phase to new classes. 

I recommend and what saved me even still now as a sophomore in college is having a planner. It can be electronically or physical copy, but having everything listed out on what to do with school is a life saver. You can color code it too which makes it easier to know what to do for what class. Overall, helping the adjustment to college courses. 

Make sure you go to your classes. It's easy to slip into the skipping of class especially as a freshman, most students go through a slump as they adjust to college life which affect their grades. Complete your assignments on time, this better prepares you for college exams too. College exams are not the ones to cram the night before studying truly, and of course this shows in your grade.

Lastly, don't be afraid to reach out for help. Professors are not meant to be scary, they want to help you and have you succeed in the course not only for themselves but at most for you. Therefore, you will actually be knowing what to do in order to correctly complete the course and its expectations.

Greek Life?

  (Photo above:  2,840 × 1,893 ) Greek Life? Potentially your calling? By: Bella DeFranco Greek life is a prominent organization in colleges across the nation. And at Chico State, as much as the student body life is always at a present, so is its Greek life community. Greek life here on campus consists of multiple fraternity and sorority chapters. Each chapter shares its own set of values, philanthropy, and overall generational traditions. A good majority of the students here at Chico State are involved in a chapter. I mention Chico State because I am personally involved in Greek life being in Alpha Delta Pi’ s sorority here at Chico State. I joined last spring semester after going through formal recruitment. Meeting some of my best friend’s in this chapter, having close friends in other sorority chapters and having guy friends in fraternity chapters has been the most rewarding experience. I was clueless on what being in a sorority meant, but now I’m the member beginning to...

The First Steps

Above:  the-truth-about-the-first-day-of-college   The First Steps By: Bella DeFranco You get dropped off by your parents or loved ones on your university campus. You feel scared yet excited for what is to come. You've been physically and mentally preparing all summer for this moment of your life. Every college student has started, continued, and finished the specific journey of "leaving the nest". I'm here to help you navigate through such new beginnings... because they're a lot of them. Leaving for college is an event that seems so drastic, everyone talks about it. Your parents typically are holding tissues as they leave you in your dorm room, in a different city, however many miles away. I am a second year in college now, and my parents still do the same thing as when I moved into my apartment.  Homesickness is real, and has an impact sometimes hard to be able to detect.

Finances

  (Photo Ab ove:  770 × 431 How College Challenges Your Finances   By: Bella DeFranco  College in itself is already such an expense for most families. Whether that be tuition, to living expenses, basic necessities of living, and anything else under the sun. How each family takes on finances and money distribution with their child/loved one in college is a diverse spectrum. Maybe you get an allowance every month, or run by every purchase with parental permission, and or you are taking on all money duties on your own.  I can't reiterate enough that college humbles you to be smart with money . Only to use it when you truly need it because costs rack up so fast. Especially, for me, once I moved from a dorm to an actual apartment with 3 other roommates. I think I got humbled even more. My number one advice is to save and only indulge when you financially feel confident in doing so, therefore it won't lead to a set back. Set backs financially only add more stress to y...
