"I had to understand my needs. I had to know when I needed to study, I had to know when I needed to hang out with friends, I needed to know when to get some fresh air and alone time. I think understanding your needs and trusting yourself, and your ability plays a big role in how well you're doing."

“I use my time wisely now as a sophomore. I feel like I do my work on time, when I used to do it at the last minute, which was not good. Honestly, I use the library a lot. I have a four hour gap between classes and I try to do my work there. That is one of the main academic differences I really had."

One of the big things was finding a better balance. I got way more organized, finding time for not only myself but my schoolwork. I have also been going to the library a lot this year. This year I found I cannot study effectively when I'm in my room.
Making that change of going to the library first definitely improved a lot."

"Take It easy. Take care of your mental and physical health. Also have fun but use your time wisely. Classes sometimes are going to get hard and sometimes they are not but still use your time wisely. But most importantly take care of yourself"

"Personally, I feel more connected as a sophomore. I already knew where everything was, but I didn't need to be acquainted with everything as much. It was a sense of coming back in the fall and knowing where I am, and knowing this is place I am supposed to be"
