The SCS has a number of workshops designed specifically for freshmen struggling with the transition from high school to college. Time Management and Procrastination is a two-part workshop that lasts for one hour each day and covers strategies for improving time management skills and managing procrastination. The first session will be held on September 3 and 10 at 1:50 p.m. in Cain Hall B103.
Another workshop freshmen might find useful is Insider's Guide: Navigating Your First-Year Aggie Experience, which will be held from September 15 through November 10 on Mondays from 3:00-4:30 p.m., also in Cain Hall B103.
A completed list of workshops and other services provided by the SCS can be found by calling (979) 845-4427 or visiting their office in Cain Hall.
"When you're at a university, you will never again be in a place where you are surrounded by so many people who care about you," Jacobson said. "It's important for freshmen to know that there are a lot of people that care about them here-all they need to do is reach out. There will always be someone there to help them."
Now, you can use some fancy software like the Apple Dashboard or Google Calendar, arrange your time by the hour in a spreadsheet like Microsoft Excel or you can even go old-school and buy a calendar to pencil in your priorities. However, I think it's safe to say that in college, one can never underestimate the power of the planner.
