There are many people whom you can talk to when looking for advice, one of which is your seniors. Through them, you can get an insight into what studying in college is like and ways to go about.
At first, I had no one to refer to as I was new to Taylor’s but eventually I opened up to many friends.
They guided me throughout my Foundation days and provided me with many hand-on tips and tricks, time-management, money-saving advice, and many more.
I also asked about their experience on campus and advice on how to prepare for college. They gave me a piece of advice which is to make use of the resources around. Having these insights, you can equip yourself with the necessary skills and traits to prepare yourself mentally for college life.
For more support, you can consider making an appointment with your college counsellors. Initially, I had many questions on how to face the challenges in college life and balance my student-athlete life. That’s where Taylor's counsellors played a very important role in providing me with all the necessary information, mental support, and counselling services which a first-year student would need. By virtue of the counsellors’ support, I was able to prepare myself mentally to embark on a new life journey.
Bottom line: Ask questions and reach out to your older friends, seniors and also the counsellors whenever you need help because they know best on the ins and outs of college life.
