No. 8: Don't Be A Recluse--Get Out And Meet People!

Good morning. Today's post is #8 in my series of posts entitled: "10 Things Not To Do After You Arrive On-Campus." I promise to keep this one short and sweet, and #8 is simply to avoid becoming a hermit, loner or unibomber, and get out and meet people. There are literally thousands of students from across the United States, and world entering or attending your college--get out and meet them.

There is no need to stay in your room which is most likely pretty small or compact. So, get outside and meet some of your classmates, and fellow students prior to the start of classes. As a matter of fact, seek out some of the upperclass students, and ask them to share their insights, and provide helpful college advice regarding classes, professors and navigating and adjusting to life on campus.

Sure, your school will eventually provide seminars on these topics at some point after classes begin, but hey, why wait! Get a head start on your success on campus by by taking charge of your own success trajectory. Ask questions . . . talk to someone who knows more than you or your friends . . . as a matter of fact ask lots of questions.
