Advice For Incoming Freshmen

Hello,

my name is Josie McCullough and I am recording this

video for my college one oh one summer 22 class.

I am making this video to supply advice for

the upcoming freshman as they start their cascadia journey.

Um to note none of the photo media is my own and

no further use of the media is allowed without content of the copyright

holder. So let's get started with my first piece of advice.

I first recommend you set up a meeting with your cascadia advisor

by getting a plan in directing your attention towards a degree.

Can help you get motivated by knowing what credits you need

and how far away you are from completing your goal.

Moving on to a higher education or being satisfied with your associates degree.

You can schedule an appointment through zoom or you can visit the kodiak corner

to get in person interaction with your cascadia advisor.

Next tip I suggest is changing up your study location.

Um it can get overwhelming when you have so much in front of you.

So I said just just changing up your scenery.

Um I recommend visiting the cascadia library where we have three floors.

You can change between floors.

Or you can visit the various study rooms for quiet time to focus or

you can interact with the other students because we share the library with the

bottle.

My next piece of advice is to remember to take some breaks.

It can get so overwhelming when you have so much in front of you working on.

So it's nice to refresh your mind.

I recommend going to the activities and recreational

center we offer at cascadia where you can find

the center, video games and other activities. You can also interact with others

to get that social engagement um Studies

show physical activity can benefit you mentally.

This would be rather helpful for resetting your head space to create

a new approach to studying when you start to feel overwhelmed.

Lastly I recommend creating a routine for yourself.

It can get so overwhelming when you have so many assignments.

So I have found that it was very useful to create a calendar for

my week by setting up all the assignments and the due dates for those.

So I can easily feel organized and view all my assignments in one place.

Um Richard shows that cramming everything in at one time is highly ineffective.

So it's nice to set time aside for each assignment

and each day.

So you know what to work on without feeling overwhelmed with

too many assignments and trying to do it all last minute

to complete this video Here are some of the sources that I use to treat

information to get the best um advice for you guys and college students in general.

I also use these links to access the pictures on the slides
