How do you prepare to go back to school? 💻🎒

Hear from Izi, a current college student at Texas State University about how she gets ready for a new semester:

“My current summer internship is preparing me for back-to-school by boosting my communication skills and enhancing my ability to learn new things.

Spending time with my puppy, Luna, is a HUGE priority of mine this summer. Lastly, I am exploring new places to figure out if studying abroad is something I’m interested in doing.”

How do you prepare for a smooth transition into a new semester? 💻🎒🏫

Hear from Saige, an incoming senior at the University of Tennessee, on how she sets herself up for success:

“To prepare to enter my fall semester of college, I get myself organized, spend time outside, and delegate my time. Planning out my day ensures that I transition smoothly from summer to the new school year.

However, it’s still important to enjoy the rest of the summer – taking breaks is necessary. I soak up the sunshine and enjoy the outdoors as much as possible, especially considering we spend so much time on our screens during the semester!”

How do you prepare for a smooth transition into a new semester? 💻🎒🏫

Hear from Nicole, an incoming senior at the University of Florida, on how she sets herself up for success:

“As an incoming senior, I’ve had to learn how to dive into a new semester without feeling overwhelmed.

The goal I have with each new semester is the same – to organize my academic, extracurricular, and social life into a good balance as quickly as possible.

This semester, I plan to do this by putting all my assignments, exams, and appointments into my calendar right away. This way, I will be able to find my groove early on and I’ll be able to block out time for other activities, like a weekend getaway with friends or a new extracurricular.” 🗓️✍🏻

What are your on-the-go campus essentials?🎒

Ayden, a Junior studying finance at the University of Delaware, shares his below:

“Throughout my semester, there are a few things that I simply can’t live without on campus. My water bottle is key to making sure I am hydrated throughout the day, which is made easy with the plethora of bottle filling stations around campus.

My backpack which I have had for about 5 years is another key to living on campus, especially when not returning home for hours.

My headphones help me stay motivated when I go to the gym or study by allowing me to listen to my favorite music.

I also carry my 2 in 1 laptop for optimal notetaking, whether I need to type or draw using the included pen.”

Happy February! To celebrate the month of love, we will be highlighting some of our Pearson Campus Ambassadors from around the country, asking them: What do you love about your college experience?

Here’s what Jalyn, a PCA at Spelman College, has to say:

“The sisterhood at Spelman College is so special, and I am so blessed to have met so many wonderful people in college. I also love how Spelman places an emphasis on academics. I have gained so many resources as a STEM major, including a three-year research program. The college has a rich history and so many traditions that I love being part of, including the big convocation we have on Founders Day each year.

I absolutely love everything about my institution and my experience in undergrad and I cannot wait to join the wonderful network of alumnae!”
