Distractions
Remember, most of the other 4,000+ incoming freshmen don't know all that many people on campus yet either. You are all looking for connections and friends that respect your boundaries, yet offer a bit of excitement. And, you might be missing home — despite your new-found freedom. Resist the urge to pack your bags and head home for the weekend so that you don't miss early-on opportunities to meet new people and enjoy new experiences.
Instead, offset these anxieties by plugging into campus opportunities. The sooner you connect, the easier it will be to rely on you newly forming network and to focus on your job: your grades.
