Hey everyone, are you ready for the Spring 2014 semester?! I will be providing some tips and tricks I’ve learned over the past three years and also I’m here to make sure you have a checklist so you’re fully prepared for this upcoming semester!
School Supplies Checklist:
– Folder paper (Very handy for the first day of class so you don’t have to bring composition books or notebooks if to don’t need them. Folder paper is there in case the professor starts lecturing, you can take notes then transfer them to the appropriate notebook if needed)
– Pens and Pencils (of course)
-Planner (KCC has a free planner you can use, just stop by Office of Student Activities for one! The bookstore also sells them I believe.)
– Schedule (So you know where you’re going)
-Map (If necessary)
-Books (If necessary)
To me that’s all I feel like you need, the first day shouldn’t be too much of a hassle, just get to know where your classes are.
Tips and Tricks:
-Arrive forty-five minutes to one hour before your class starts if you are driving. Everyone comes super early during the first few weeks of school and you don’t want to be late on your first day of class.
-Don’t be afraid to talk to people, especially if you notice you have more than one class with them! It’ll help in the long run when it comes to needed a study buddy.
-Lastly, don’t be afraid to approach a Peer Mentor, we’re in our blue shirts, or even if you recognize us off duty, don’t be afraid to ask us questions like where a building is, or where an office is! We’re MORE than glad to help you! 🙂
