The beginning of a new academic year can bring both excitement and stress. Here are a few suggestions from the Counseling Center to help you thrive this fall!

  • Set realistic goals and include little rewards along the way
  • Learn to value making lists (and enjoy crossing things off of them)
  • Take time to explore the campus and learn about available resources
  • Make connections by limiting screen time and taking in the college experience
  • Prioritize sleep and spending time outdoors
  • Trust your boundaries when navigating challenges
  • Make choices that align with your values
  • Embrace adaptability and give yourself grace when life feels tough
  • Maintain connection with your support systems
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
  • Join the Counseling Center at THRIVE 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fri., Sept. 5, on the Quad to learn more!
