What advice do you have for underclassmen?

“Just to keep going, create a good schedule for yourself. Mental health always comes first, but that doesn’t mean doing absolutely nothing and making bad choices.” – Anna Anderson

“The advice I have for underclassmen is to learn how to study and learn. Watch some Youtube videos and find strategies that work for you. Also they should learn time management so they can balance all the work they will have. In the scope of college, I advise that they start doing college applications during the summer and don’t wait until the beginning of the school year like me. I was not able to go on any college tours, but I advise going on them; also, if they aren’t able to, they should watch tons of youtube videos and do a lot of research about colleges. Prioritize college research when applying to colleges because this shows the colleges you know a lot about them and will increase your chances of getting in. It will also show them that you care about their college.” – Anurag Kavishwar

“In terms of college and schoolwork in general, I advise underclassmen to get tasks done early to ensure their work is done on time, or simply have extra time to make it as good as possible. Not only is it refreshing to have all your work done early, but it also allows extra time to study for a better understanding of class material. I would advise underclassmen to self-advocate if they need help on something in particular by asking the teacher or even classmates.” – Corinne Pungitore
