Jefferson Community College Student Newspaper \Shooting for the Future\ Volume 32, Issue 1 Feb 12, 1996 Message To New Students by Jessica Sassard North Country Women's Conference by Jessica Dilley College life can be very different from what new students were previously accustomed to in high school. For those of you arriving straight from high school or returning from years of absence, there are many different, yet exciting, challenges to be faced. This is especially true for those of you returning as non-traditional stu- dents. The standard advice for all new students is usually something like \If you don't show up, you can't pass,\ therefore attendance should be your top priority. But, just showing up isn't enough if you don't pay attention, also! You also need to bring proper mate- rials, listen carefully, take notes, and review those notes on a regu- lar basis. This does not mean waiting until the night before an exam to \cram\! LasUy, we all need to ORGANIZE! If you can't find it, you can't study it! If, after all of these techniques have been applied to your daily study routines, you are still having problems, there is help. Find out when your professor's office hours are and make an appoint- ment to discuss your areas of difficulty. You probably are not alone; why not form a study group with some of your fellow classmates? In addition, the Scanlon Learning Skills Center offers tutors for many of the courses on campus. This is an already pre-paid op- portunity, and it is available to all registered students. If the stresses encountered from classes and studying start to overwhelm you, the Counseling Center on the ground floor of In- structional Resources Building offers assistance and understand- ing. The counselors there really know what you're going through, and they also know how to listen and help. They are there to dis- cuss and help with school, personal, or family problems, and they don't charge. Remember, with any new situation there must be a time of adjustment. Stress and confusion are common emotions during this time, and, believe it or not, they usually pass. These services were created to help make the transition to the situation, and to deal with the problems that might arise. They are there to be uti- lized by you, and you are encouraged to do so. College is a new experience, it requires a lit He time to make the adjustments and to learn to enjoy yourself, to become involved on campus, and to make new friends. Not only is this an educational experience, but it is also an important seedbed for many wonderful memories! Whats Inside?
