How I can help you: I want to be someone you can turn to when they have exciting news to share, need advice on classes or opportunities to look into, or just want to converse - I want to be a part of your support system.
When I started at UC Davis I felt... excited, yet stagnant because I was really enjoying starting a new chapter of my life, but found the balance between my health, academia, and social life challenging to manage. It felt like I was oftentimes sacrificing my other needs for school, but once I pushed myself to actually make change and try new strategies and resources, that was when I found what worked for me and still allowed me to enjoy a well-balanced college life.
Advice for incoming first-year UHP students: Give yourself space and time to adjust to a new environment, people, and pace of life and academics. It's okay to be challenged - that's bound to come with change, but adapt and make small adjustments once you notice something is off and not working well. Push yourself for change rather than let yourself dwell in plateau, and that will set you up for all the changes and growth opportunities that will come your way in college.
