College Freshmen Tips

Going to college can be a life altering experience. There will be many new experiences in your life that will be happening fast. Now you will be responsible for doing everything on your own now and sometime it hard to adjust to all these new experiences. I went to college so I want to give new college freshmen some of my tips to make your first year of college easier. 

The first thing to consider is joining a club. It’s good for networking and you can make some new friends. It doesn’t have to only be a major related club. There are many other fun clubs besides this to consider joining. Read your college newspaper for club and other important college information and then go to the club day, that all college host, during the first week of classes. Consider a bunch of clubs before you make a major decision on which club is best for you right now. You can even start your own club. Also you can become a student leader right away by joining the student council where you can help make campus life better for everyone. 

Speaking of the newspaper you can write an article on a variety of topics. You don't have to have a lot a lot of experience to be a writer of a newspapers article either. Many employers look for job applicants who can provide writing samples. 

Also, subscribe to some magazines like AD-Week or PR- Weekly if you thinking of these career choices. Many magazines offer subscriptions discounts for college students. There are many yahoo groups that are free to join on various topics that are good for networking. Most search engines offer them. Also, subscribe to free newsletters from Adweek, Mediaweek and Brandweek as examples of ways to keep track of trends in the advertising industry. Many websites and companies offer similar free email newsletters.
