College Orientation Tips
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
Not that long ago, but today I'm telling you different tips I have for when you're going toe orientation college. I personally didn't have the best orientation experience, and I think that was all on me. You know, I'm me and it it's just what happens before getting into the video. That stuff could be helpful, cause I know a lot of freshmen schedule their classes during orientation. So I did all this orientation stuff last year, so it's pretty fresh in my head, going to tell you what your scheduling, but I personally got really overwhelming in the situation, and I'm just me and you get overwhelmed pretty easily. If you could kind of switch your on your classes, they don't have to be in the exact order that they tell you. Keep that in mind because I think when I got there, I was just like, Oh my God, I have to take these exact classes at these times and it doesn't some time that I like What am I gonna do? Your orientation and literally accidentally scheduled the day where I had class from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Straight. People start training people, they respond to your posts. Familiar faces were new there because when you go there, a lot of times like you feel really alone and all by yourself because you obviously don't know anybody yet. So I think it's a really good way to kind of jump star making friends. You might not find your best friend orientation, at least for the couple days that your orientation you have a little buddy that you could go around with, that you could talk to us that way. So if you're in a group and you get a couple of people Snapchats like sometimes that would also be a good way to start to make friends just a little bit like acquaintances, more so than friends. I just think that's a really good way to meet people get to know people. Start being social, start trying to interact with people of all people. I never had a deal with making friends or anything like that. Pupils in kindergarten with I graduated, but I never really had to make any new friends. A good thing I think to do is find people with similar majors. There is actually a girl that I sat next to during orientation, and we're still friends. We ended up being in a couple classes together and we're not really friends. We don't go hang out together, but it's still nice to have the same classes as her and have around snap truck. If I need anything so no could snap cheddar if I needed anything or have any questions or something like that, I think it's really cool that activity at orientation that we kind of consult each other when it comes to a couple different things the way, if you need each other, you could help each other out. Maybe be taking one or two of the same classes you or maybe even more, because I just think it's so helpful to have a community around you in which, like they could help you. I never go out with any of these people or go eat with them or anything like that. Honestly, even if I'm just struggling in a closet text, my friend and be like, Oh my God, are you gonna die during this time exam tomorrow? You know, it helps you feel not as alone. Just having people there to support you during your classes is just really great. It's also easier to start talking to them when you find something at the same major and orientation. If you talk to anybody of any major talking about your major is something that we really good talking for. If you don't figure out what classes you taking dope. We're gonna have to tweak some things and it will be okay if you're not talking people during orientation that's completely okay to you could still make friends. I know some people feel like idiots asking questions. You need to figure out as much information as you can during orientation. Every little thing that you could possibly find out there, you're gonna want to find out because it's gonna be helpful. A lot of times, orientation leaders or their people, at least in your orientation that are kind of upperclassmen. So you could ask that any questions you have any advice that you want the chance interact with upperclassmen is just a great way to get the information that you need to now. That's what orientations for orientation is to get you prepared for when you come. Nobody really has any friends yet, so I'm sure everyone kind of doesn't want it alone because that's kind of awkward. If there's a group of people sitting, asked if you could go sit with them, nobody really knows anybody or have any friends, so you will be completely fine asking if it's okay to sit next people. I think that's a really good way to make friends gather, sacked. Kind of just get to know a bunch of people that I have for you today. I hope this helped you guys good luck at orientation.
