Make Connections<\/div>\n \n \n<\/svg>\n <\/div>\n
What impresses me about LVC is the number of unexpected mentors I have found. Professors, RAs, and support staff members have taken a genuine interest in my development, helping to uplift, encourage, and guide my growth. My recommendation is this: seek out support. Seek out guidance. Building connections with others will help you excel in areas you\u2019re already comfortable with and expose you to exciting new opportunities for additional growth.<\/div>\n

Establish a Routine<\/div>\n \n \n<\/svg>\n <\/div>\n
Get into a routine that allows for time studying, socializing, and moving your body! These are all equally important to keep up with in college.<\/div>\n

Balance is Key<\/div>\n \n \n<\/svg>\n <\/div>\n
It’s ok to say no. As a first-year, you want to be involved in a lot of things, but when it comes to balancing social life with academics, you have to make hard decisions to better your academic goals.<\/div>\n
