Don't underestimate your ability to adapt or to overcome any situation that life throws at you. You are more powerful and resilient than you think and can imagine. When the going get's tough, remember just keep swimming. Life will throw you more difficult things than you could ever fathom but similarly, it will also be more spectacular than your wildest dreams~

"Students often fall into the trap of ""doing too much"" in the dynamic university event, and this could negatively impact your academic performance if you do not prioritize your tasks properly. Make sure you create specific and reasonable goals for yourself - setting goals for short incremental improvements is typically better than setting unreasonable goals. I can speak on this advice because I fell into the trap of setting unreasonable goals and overwhelming myself with many different commitments during my first three years of my undergraduate career. Students tend to think about ""the future"" too much to the point where it becomes overwhelming. Do not let your brain wonder off into the future because this will induce unnecessary stress that may aggravate your mental health. STAY IN THE PRESENT - focus on your current goals and work on them to the best of your ability."

Get involved with as many clubs as you can handle in first year, it's a great place to meet people, learn about the industry (if related to field), and de-stress!
