a streaking we will go….<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is NO requirement that anyone get naked for this. \u00a0Do you ‘kids’ even know what streaking is?! \u00a0Anyway, this is NOT that. \u00a0It’s a different kind of streak… hopefully, a winning streak of sorts where you fly through your first three weeks on campus and lay a good foundation for yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

Here are Ten Tips to help you get through those first three weeks:<\/p>\n

1. Door Open<\/b><\/h3>\n

When in your dorm room, leave your door open.\u00a0 This sends a message to all that you\u2019re open to meeting new people.<\/p>\n

2. Eyes Up<\/b><\/h3>\n

When walking on campus, keep your eyes up, make eye contact with others, and smile. (And lose the headphones if you want to be accessible to others!)<\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t Be Late to Activate<\/b><\/h3>\n

Join a club, activity or intramural team immediately.\u00a0 It\u2019s much easier to walk away if it becomes too much to handle than to try and join midstream later after everyone\u2019s already gotten to know each other.<\/p>\n

4. Share a Meal with Your Mate<\/b><\/h3>\n

Join your roommate for a meal at least once a week. This helps cultivate the relationship and prevent trouble spots that can be aired out quickly.<\/p>\n

5. Pop in to See the Profs<\/b><\/h3>\n

Stop in their offices to introduce yourself to EACH of your professors.\u00a0 Again, you are cultivating relationships, and these could result in research opportunities, recommendations and long-term mentors.<\/p>\n

6. Play Bulletin Board Bingo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Once each month, find a posting on a campus bulletin board that is out of your comfort zone but piques your curiosity. It could be a guest lecture, political rally, art show, or athletic event.\u00a0 Attend it and expand your horizons\u2026.regularly.<\/p>\n

7. Reach Across the Aisle<\/b><\/h3>\n

In each class, introduce yourself to any student.\u00a0 You\u2019ll meet more people, and you\u2019ll find more study partners.<\/p>\n

8. Assess the Mess<\/b><\/h3>\n

Is your weekly plan going okay? Any trouble classes or social relationships? Are you eating healthy and getting enough sleep? If you got off on the wrong foot with anyone, ask forgiveness (sooner rather than later).<\/p>\n

9. Has the Fun Begun (In academics or social life)?<\/b><\/h3>\n

By three weeks in, if nothing is fun yet, it\u2019s time to regroup and ask yourself why.<\/p>\n

10. Seek Shadowy Characters<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you haven\u2019t done this before arriving on campus, do it soon.\u00a0 Create a list of professionals you\u2019d like to shadow for a day during winter break.<\/p>\n
