Campus is once again filled with SHU staff, faculty and students. Sure the summer may be over and it's time to get back into school mode, but we will not forget the memories that summer has left upon us. It's time to get back into the zone of early morning classes, homework and weekend fun.
My name is Meghan Parisi, I am a Junior and also the new Perspectives Editor for "The Spectrum." I'm determined to make this year not only successful for "The Spectrum" but also to get the most out of all of my classes. As new students are still adjusting to the new lifestyle of being away from home and having total control of the choices they make they should be aware that this is the time to take full advantage of the classes they are taking and the different activities and clubs that are offered.
Sure some courses are required and you may not enjoy them as much as others, but make the best of the classes you are taking. You may have a course that you dislike but your professor is someone who can guide you and teach you different techniques of learning and studying. A good professor can be a mentor or even a friend to students. Be sure to fully take advantage of the relationships you can form, for this is the time to learn and grow not only as a student but also a young adult.
For new students it's normal to feel overwhelmed but my advice to you is to pace yourself. It's a brand new experience and way of learning so the best way to get use to everything is by taking everything one step at a time. This is the most important time to truly flourish and find out what you like.
Take your time to adjust. I'm sure most of you are still feeling out how you feel about being away from home and attempting to figure out what possibly is my major going to be. That is fine, this is the reason why you chose to come to Sacred Heart. This is the time where you explore. It's your first interaction with being in a "real world" setting. Take it day by day and with an open mind.
I've always been interested in writing and communicating with others through all different sorts of topics. I'm extremely excited to be one of the new editors of "The Spectrum" and to be working with such a great determined staff. I encourage the SHU community to voice what they like or even dislike so our staff are able to progress and interest all on campus. I would like to welcome everyone and wish everyone a successful and prosperous academic year.
