“Not to sound corny but focusing on studies in Rez was soooo much harder then I thought.”

“Changing your major is not a big deal, so if you decide that it’s not for you just book an appointment in the Student Academic Success Center. Getting involved on campus is one of the most rewarding aspects of student life and it helps for resume building. If after the first three classes you can’t stand a course, change out. If you hate it you probably won’t do well in it. If you get a bad grade on a paper talk to the professor. If you ask for feedback you’re more likely to do better next time. Find an activity that helps you de-stress. Work hard, but play hard too.”
