There are plenty of resources for you

College can be really difficult and as you move in, start to manage classes, a job and a social life it can get even more challenging. 

Despite all the challenges in college life there are plenty of resources that can help you manage the world around you, even if they are not discussed very often. 

Its always important to take care of your mental and physical health and on campus we have the Health Service office that can help you take care of you. 

CSC has multiple school counselors that can help you with your mental health, even if you just need one meeting to rant or if you want to set up recurring meetings. 

The school nurse can help if you need confirmation that you are sick for teachers and can help you get appointments at the hospital if need be. 

When it comes to time management there are a lot of helpful apps or planners that can help you. One of the easiest ways to figure out what works for you is to try it. 

You can ask people in your classes or that you live near on what works for them. Personally I like planners the best but there are a couple apps that I like to use too.

Remember the Milk, is an app that helps you manage your time and keep track of assignments and upcoming tests. 

Forest is a good app for people that like to procrastinate and that have a hard time staying on track. It has you plant virtual trees that you care for by studying. 

In terms of saving money, there are businesses that offer discounts, including local ones. 

On-campus students receive an Eagle Advantage card, with plenty of local discounts when you show them your card. 

Other businesses like Amazon have student subscriptions that can make things a little cheaper. 

Student Beans is an app and website that helps you find different student discounts and takes you straight to the website to order whatever you are looking for. 

Renting your textbooks or buying used books is one way to save money. 

Now when it comes to academics it can be hard to find good study tools or resources that aren’t paid. 

One tip is to never pay for peer reviewed sources. If you can’t access it through the CSC library website, go into the library and they can help you find that resource. 

The library is also a great place to study. Sometimes its best to have a change of scenery to help you stay focused. 

Quizlet and physical notecards are a great way to study for upcoming tests or quizzes. 

Use your professors office hours, if you need help do not worry about going in and asking questions. 

There are plenty of resources on-campus and on the web to help you get though college, so don’t worry about doing everything on your own.
