General advice for college freshmen?

[ThetaPrincess24]

1. Guard your reputation. A college campus (no matter the size -2200-60K) is a lot smaller than you may think. Greek Life makes it even smaller and odds are, someone always knows/has a connection to someone else you know--from home or someone you just met at your first college party.

2. Your entire life does not need to be on social media. What you post now can affect that awesome job prospect in 4 years. NOTHING leaves the Internet (simply deleting something doesn't cut it and privacy settings are a joke for the most part). Be smart about what you put out there! Your social media should reflect and build on your personal brand.

3. GET INVOLVED! Greek or not, get involved in something! Every major just about has their own group. Join it. Every religion/denomination usually has a group--if this applies to you, join one. If religion isn't your thing, agnostics and atheists typically have a group too. Just about every political spectrum tends to be represented on a college campus. If you like politics, find your group! Like playing sports but not well enough to be on your school's team? Many sports have their own clubs or intramural teams. Find one you like and join it.
