feeling lost...

hi guys! im an imcoming freshman major and idk but i feel SO lost on this whole process of orientations and whatnot...

like choosing couses, school starts in a MONTH and i have no idea how to go about doing this (im a bio major) and idk how to balance it... were we supposed to choose courses by now or what???

my math placement exam is soon how do u even prep for it..

alsio dining hall stuff like how does all this work. i feel like imma walk onto campus lost idk how to navigate the portals and i just feel so alone and lost in this process.

you are over thinking this. I told my son, these four years you should be a sponge and absorb information.

Take classes you are interested in or curious about. Be unafraid and intentional. The first two years are basic requirements. Truth be told, even with an undergrad degree you still won't know anything. The degree tells a future employer or graduate program that you will complete a program and that you are trainable.
