This past week marked the start of what some students dread: the start of classes. Luckily for us students, we got to enjoy a couple easy days during the infamous "syllabus week." At first, all of my classes seemed a little overwhelming. I was in a new school that uses a completely different system. I also had to sign up for three different online sites as well. It was a lot juggle at the start of school, especially when I am still trying to find my bearings here.
However, I am proud to say that the course load has become more bearable and easy. My advice to any incoming college student is to develop time management skills. For me, that meant looking at my classes and putting all my assignments in a planner or calendar. It's also very important to make sure that you make time for yourself. In college, it is way to easy to get caught up in your school work in classes. Take time to treat yourself. Go out with friends, watch a movie, or try something you have never done before. Time management planning and making time for myself greatly helped me adjust to my courses here at the university.
Unfortunately, I did not due too much this week besides go to classes and focus on my course work. I made time for my friends and met with them in between classes. I went to UREC a couple days to make sure that the days of the "Freshman 15" are behind me. Lastly, I went to a well known restaurant around here called "The Chimes." The Chimes is a southern-Cajun restaurant that is on the outskirts of campus. It is a very nice place and the food looks amazing! Sadly, I went to hangout with my friends after I already had dinner, so I did not get to partake in any of the amazing smells that surrounded me. Maybe next time. I'm coming up on a month a being here and clearly, I still have a lot to explore in Baton Rouge.
