Surviving the First Semester in College: Top Tips 3

Going to college is a big deal. We leave the life we have known forever behind and move into the world of the unknown. Freshly out from the school, we have a little to no idea about things work in the real world. And the deal is even bigger for those of us who move to a new place for college, leaving the family and the familiarity of the city we have been grown up at behind. “What is I don’t make friends?”, “what if I won’t be able to fit in?”. Most students have these questions bubbling in their head while packing to leave.

Now, that being said, let’s not forget the most important thing. The time spent in college is the best time. Neither you have restrictions (like you did in school) nor do you have an excruciatingly burdened work schedule (like you are going to have when you start working), so it is a well-balanced life between deadlines and night outs.

Here are some tips to make the first semester of your college life easier:

Be good to your roommate

Surviving the First Semester in College: Top Tips 4

If you are living in a shared hostel room, your roommate is going to be your first friend and the first person you can reach in case of any medical or otherwise emergency, so be good to them. make a good first impression, don’t take more space in the room that is assigned to you, don’t touch their things without their permission, and don’t interfere in their life unnecessarily. Don’t be clingy or indifferent, find a midway. invite them for dinner every now and then. If they fall sick, be there for them, you might in the future need that too, living in a hostel means being home away from home for fellow hostelers.

Now, don’t confuse being good with taking the bad behavior they throw at you (if they do that). Some roommates can be real disastrous bloodsuckers, make sure you take a stand whenever needed.

Make Friends
