BE PROACTIVE
Make the Most Out of Your First Semester.
Ask For Help When You Need It.
▪ Professors will not know you need help until you ask for it.
▪ It can be unsettling and uncomfortable to ask, but it will be well
worth it in the end.
▪ If you don’t have time to meet with someone in person, email them
or ask to have a phone conversation.
Take Ownership
My goals are to I will cut out or
add
To help me stick to
my goals
Own Up To Your Mistakes and Take
Responsibility
▪ The first semester of college is
often times the hardest.
▪ Why?
– New environment
– New friends
– New challenges
– New expectations from
society/family/friends
▪ If you make a mistake, it’s
okay!
– We’ve all made them.
▪ The most important thing is
– taking responsibility for the
mistake
– learning from it
– and moving on
Face Your Fears.
▪ Meeting new people can be a
challenge for some people.
– It’s fairly simple.
▪ How do I meet new people?
– Attend an event and sit by
someone you’ve never met.
– Sit by someone in your class
you’ve never worked with.
– Avoid eating lunch in your room or
at home.
– Search Orgsync for student
organizations with similar interests
to yours.
You’ve applied
to college.
You were
accepted into
college.
You’re in
college.
You’re
excelling in
your classes.
BUT
You’re not
involved on
campus outside
of class.

Editor's Notes

  1. Instructions: “My Goals Are To” – Students should list four goals they plan to reach by the end of the semester. “I Will Cut Out or Add” – Students will list four things they need or do not need to achieve the goals listed previously. “To Help Me Stick To My Goals” – Students will list two to four people who will be able to help them stick their goals and hold them accountable. Students should spend 10-15 minutes completing the goal chart. After students can voluntarily share their charts. Possible debrief questions: Why did you choose those goals? Do you believe it will be a challenge to achieve those goals?
  2. Reflection Questions: How did this video make you feel? After watching this video, Do you feel the goals you have for this semester can be achieved? What will you do tomorrow to “seize the moment”?
