i'm starting uni in a week and i need advice as a first year student

Do everything. Check out every organization, club and such that you think you might have an interest in. Go to the sports ball games. Go to parties. Try everything you can.

But do all this after you've done your studying and class work. That's the primary reason you're there.

That said, you're also there to experience as much as you can in a relatively short amount of time.

1. Manage your anxiety.
2. Be open and friendly.
3. Don't forget the reason why you are there... no matter what.

it'll be easier than you expect. have fun but don't lose sight of why you're there.

Study hard the first semester and get good grades. Go see your professors during office hours. Party sparingly. By the second semester you will look around and see what happened to others who didn’t do what you did.

Enjoy your Friday and Saturday nights but keep Sunday for study so you can do well and advance in your education.

Have fun! It only lasts about four years give or take.

Don't let yourself be bullied by upperclassmen/women

Be prepared and make sure you go to orientation, what are you studying

Be smart
