Living On Campus!

I’ve spent the last 7 months living on campus, so here are my tips and thoughts!

1) Get an on campus job!

—— By getting an on campus job, you’ll be able to make connections with other people who work with you! I work at my campus library, and I love it! I only started working there a few months ago, and I feel so much better knowing that I don’t have to travel home to work.

2) Take advantage of nice weather!

—— I go to school in northern new england. The weather is SO bipolar here, so I love going outside and studying in the sun when it’s here.

3) Plants bring a space to life!

—— Not everyone is plant-savvy, but if you are, you should totally bring your green babies to school! I live in a suite with 8 other people, and they love my plants so they are *everywhere*!

4) Find a good study spot!

—— You’re going to be spending a lot of your time on campus. Find a couple of great study spaces that you can count on getting some good work done. Even though I do have a desk in my room, I rarely do any work in my room. I love getting out for a change of scenery.

5) Find some safe + easy meals!

—— If your dining hall has weird hours like mine, you’re gonna want to have some easy dorm-room meals in your back pocket that you can make for yourself! My residence hall has a kitchen, but I like finding microwave meals that I don’t have to leave my room for.

6) It’s hard to keep your space clean!

—— When the semester is in full swing, it can be easy to get swept up in work and neglect your living space. Keeping a cleaning schedule to stay on top of everything can be really helpful, especially if you’ve got ADHD like I do!
