Sit back and relax upperclassmen because this is geared towards the freshman, with that being said if you find my advice applicable that\u2019s awesome! Before I give you my tips and tricks I\u2019m going to tell you what not to do. When I came in as a freshman I was very focused on the wrong things and was a bit of an introvert. I stayed in my room and went home a lot on the weekends. My first semester at UWW was not one for the books to say the least. It took me until my junior year to really unlock my full potential as a member of this university. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all GET INVOLVED, I know people pounded this into you from the second you arrived this year, but it\u2019s true. Not sure what you\u2019re passionate about? Go to Club meetings until something gets you so excited you can\u2019t wait to go back. For me I fell in love with the glamorous world of PR and it took me a while to find out that I wanted to do that, so don\u2019t give up. Every single organization on campus is very welcoming and would love some new members. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t be afraid to look stupid, you\u2019re still learning this whole college thing and there\u2019s nothing wrong with asking questions. College is a beautiful place where people from all walks of life come together and if someone tries to put you down for doing something you\u2019re passionate about, just shrug it off. If it makes you happy never stop doing it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My Finals words of wisdom, get a gym membership! Health is wealth and it\u2019s amazing what you can achieve when you live a healthy active lifestyle. I know the big brutes in the Williams Center can be a little intimidating, but you have nothing to worry about. If you ever have a question or concern the friendly faces behind the desk are there to help you out! I can\u2019t wait to make this an amazing semester and welcome to The University of Wisconsin Whitewater! <\/span><\/p>\n<p>-Ryan Harvot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Queue up the Thin Lizzy track because the Hawks are back in town.
