It’s the Tennessee Volunteers’ first week of Fall semester 2013! The campus is full of students back from summer break, class syllabi have been handed out, and that first homework assignment has been assigned…ug. But hey, at least we get discounted football tickets right? This being my eighteenth first day of a new school year (chyah, I know), there was a lot that felt very familiar. It honestly feels like just a few months ago that I was starting my own first day on a college campus, in a huge lecture hall, alongside 200 other nervous faces. College is hard! Everyone always says there are a few things they wish they knew then to help make the transition from high school into college a little easier. Hopefully a few of these tips come in handy!

Okay, okay…I did eventually realize how niche that sounded. Enter: final bit of motivation to start my first ever blog!
