Preparing for the Fall Semester for High School Seniors!

When I started at South I felt like I was kind of prepared for the experience and in some ways I was, and in other ways I wasn't. I focused a lot on physically preparing for college when mental preparation is also important. When I finally arrived at South, I was shocked at how easy certain things I had stressed over fell into place. A lot of things were much simpler than I made it out to be. With that being said, here are 5 things High School Seniors should do to prepare for the Fall!


  1. Gain some type of organizational skills - This makes the move in process much easier.
  2. Go to events (especially during the first week) even if you're skeptical about it!
  3. Make sure you remain updated on financial aid/ reimbursements
  4. Read the syllabus for your classes and mark the dates of tests/quizzes/projects.
  5. Don't Stress About Everything - Starting a new experience is overwhelming but it's much easier than it seems!

My Favorite Outdoor Space on Campus

Image
Up until the beginning of this semester I didn't really venture out to many places on campus. Since I started going to more places on campus, the outdoor space I go to the most is the outdoor area outside the Student Center. This area is a really good place to eat, meet friends, or do work if you need to. There are also certain events that take place from time to time so that's also a positive. Even if you're not an outdoor person, I highly recommnd checking it out!

What I've Learned About Myself Since Becoming a Jag

Image
It has been a crazy year since I started at South. There's been multiple highs and lows, but it has been a great experience overall. Being in college forces you to learn a lot about yourself. Since becoming a Jag, one thing I've learned is problem solving. There's been many things that have been out of my control or difficult, but I have learned to find ways to work through them. Obstacles are not ideal by any means, but it's not impossible to deal with them and move forward.
