Living that College life🥰

My name is Mena I go to the university of Saint Mary’s. My major is exercise science for Physical Therapy. So far as a freshman life has been busy and so far it’s been nothing but work and ice breakers 😅 but I believe I can handle it I am a college cheerleader (my first time ever cheering in my life lol) I was one of the girls who brought her entire room with her to college 🙃 so I am very much ready to take on this life although I’m sure that mindset will change soon 🤣Leavenworth #college #lemon8challenge

... Read moreStarting college can be overwhelming, but it’s also a time of self-discovery and personal growth. For new students, finding a balance between academics and social life is critical. Participating in activities such as cheerleading not only offers a fun outlet but also enhances camaraderie with fellow students. As a freshman, it's important to stay organized, prioritize tasks, and seek support when needed. Building relationships with peers can transform your college experience. Join campus events, engage with your major community, and don’t forget to explore local attractions like Leavenworth, which is perfect for weekend getaways. Remember, though it may feel daunting at first, every moment is a learning opportunity, shaping you into a more resilient individual. Embrace every challenge and celebrate the small victories along the way!
