Welcome back Cards
The start of a new semester breeds a sense of optimism that seems to come around only twice a year. For some people, this spring semester marks the last in the journey of college — for others, it is only the beginning.
Remember a few things about beginning a new school term — it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t become overworked and take time for mental health when necessary.
Class assignments are important. It can be easy to procrastinate and fall behind in coursework, so stay organized and keep track of due dates. There’s no point in paying tuition if there is no payoff.
Ask for help when needed. Lamar offers a variety of tutors for all sorts of subjects — take advantage of those opportunities. The Student Health Center offers trained professionals who can help with health issues, whether they be physical or mental. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, college can be hard and sometimes we need the extra support.
Get involved in the many organizations that Lamar has to offer. It’s a chance to meet new people and develop new interests.
School can be stressful, but there are things that can help alleviate the anxiety and make it a worthwhile experience.
