Dear incoming freshmen, I would advise you all to please be on top of all your work! DO NOT allow yourself to get backed up, because every assignment will be probably so much more than the last. You really don’t want to risk being behind. Also, try your very best to make it to EVERY class, being the fact that every class can be informative, and you don’t want to miss any important info/notes. STAY MOTIVATED. Do not let yours de motivate to do better or well in your classes, because once you’re in that hole, it’ll be the most difficult thing to crawl yourself out. YOU GOT THIS!

Dear Newcomers, you may have heard a lot of negative and “scary “things about college, but if you stay on top or your work and prioritize, I promise it’s not that hard, challenging, but not impossible. And we’ve got some friendly tips to get you started right in your first semester.
1.Time management: Balancing academics, works, and social life is a skill you’ll need to master. Avoiding procrastination and stay disciplined.
2.Reach out for help: College can be challenging, and it’s okay. If you feel overwhelmed, just reach out to professors, academic advisors, or counselors. There is no shame in seeking assistance when you need it.
3.Mind and body: eat well, sleep well, and move your body. A healthy you is a successful you.
4.When you choose courses, you can choose the courses you like, because if you enjoy in the classes, you probably succeed with the class.

Dear newcomer,
Welcome to your first year at BMCC, although it looks strange and confusing, here are some tips to get you through your first semester. Remember to not be afraid you’re not the only one who is dealing with this new chapter of your life. We don’t know each other but let me say, I believe in you and I there’s nothing you can’t do as long as you apply yourself . Look how far you’ve come!
Let’s start off with don’t be afraid or hesitate to look for a resource or ask for help. Many people are willing to lend a hand at your request.
Remember to stay on top of your work and important due dates, get a calendar to organize yourself. It’s also useful to join a club. You get to meet new people and be apart of something new! Don’t forget be open minded and be patient. Everyone makes mistakes- and I hope that you don’t allow that to impede your journey. It happens and perfection isn’t possible so just keep striving. That brings up my next point- Communicate with your professor! They’re here for you and speaking up about what’s troubling you can offer a deeper connection with your professor as well as exercise, the skill speaking up for yourself. They expect you to be adult, even if you don’t feel like you’re one yet. Stretch that muscle that helps you build a schedule, communicate, create, and want to learn more. This may come off as a lot but whew does time fly. Again, I believe in you stranger and I hope you find your footing and believe in yourself.

Dear Incoming Student,
First off, I want to applaud you for making a big step to decide to dedicate a large portion of your life to education. Secondly, I would like to warn you that it will not be easy. Time management is the most important thing, as well as dedication and the confidence that you will by any means get this done. There will be things you have to sacrifice, assignments you don’t want to do, and many obstacles that will try to get in your way. There will be professors that could care less about their student’s education and future, but there will also be professors who you will build great relationships with. Make sure you are prioritizing correctly, along with making sure you are not overwhelming yourself with responsibility. School will not feel as a chore, when you begin to look at knowledge as a gem!
