11 THINGS I WISH I KNEW AS A FRESHMAN ANNIKA TOMLIN COLLEGE TIMES

Go after it.

your position.

9. GET REJECTED

4. PROFESSORS ARE THERE FOR YOU

Applying for opportunities like scholarships, internships and externships sometimes lead to rejection. It’s actually a learning experience, as you can ask your contact what you can do to be successful in the future.

There will always be a class that you think is going to be impossible to pass. Those professors know the class is hard and schedule office hours for help. Usually, this helps improve the experience and the test scores. Bonus: If you have a bad test score and have a cumulative final, go over your mistakes with the professor so you don’t make the same mistakes again.

11. DON’T BUY TEXTBOOKS Prior to buying books at the school’s bookstore, look online or shop locally for discounts or rentals. Look at the syllabus and ask the professor how many times the book will be needed. If it’s easier, copy pages from a friend who bought the book to complete assignments.

7. MANAGE TIME BETTER It’s important to roughly schedule time for homework, working out and other daily tasks. This also helps to plan for social activities outside of school.

6. PROCRASTINATION IS BAD

10. APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS/GRANTS

8. LET GO OF TOXIC PEOPLE

College is expensive. There are scholarships and grants that, sometimes, have few applicants.

Search for those you qualify for.

There is free money waiting for you.

It is said that, in college, students make friendships that will last a lifetime. The reality is you’ll win some and lose some—especially the toxic ones.

This goes with managing time better. Do not say “I will just do it tomorrow.” You won’t. Power through and get it done and avoid the stress of last-minute tasks.

Teachers are rarely lenient about extensions for assignments.

ENJOY THE MUSEUM IN

AIR CONDITIONED COMFORT

3. DON’T OVERSPEND In college, you won’t be made of money, as they say. You’ll have to pay for school or life essentials, like food and gas. Don’t, instead, max out a credit card on a Spring Break trip to Cancun. A rule to live by: If you don’t have the money, don’t spend it.

2. PART-TIME JOB If you have the time for a parttime job, do it. Colleges offer a plethora of part-time jobs specifically for students living on campus. Many schedule shifts around classes and guarantee that you do not overwork yourself.

Your first two years of college are spent taking required classes — math, science and English courses.

MENTAL HEALTH AND COLLEGE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS CAN EASE DISORDERS SCIANNA GARCIA • COLLEGE TIMES

H

er freshman year at GCU, Natalie Samarin struggled with intrusive thoughts, repetitive behaviors and extreme anxiety, which manifested to nausea, tingling hands, headaches and chest tightness.

She was diagnosed with generalized depression and anxiety, as well as PTSD and OCD that summer.

That fall, she met her saving grace: a 3 1/2-year-old German shepherd mix named Cheese Stick.

Her psychologist and neurologist thought she would benefit from adopting an emotional support animal, and determined she was mentally sound to do so.

Cheese Stick and other emotional support animals help mitigate the symptoms of mental or emotional disabilities such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.

Such assistance animals are typically prescribed by a licensed mental health professional as part of an individual’s treatment plan.

“I loved Cheese Stick instantly,” Samarin says.

“She just wanted love and to give love so purely. I remember crying from being overwhelmed in the first month I had her, and she came and laid down next to me with her head on my leg, and I just leaned over, held her and cried. She loved me always, despite my flaws, worries, and anxiety.”

Cheese Stick not only helped to improve Samarin’s mental health, but also was a hit on campus with her peers who missed their dogs at home.

As a college student, Samarin struggled with fears of uncertainty and unnecessary worry over outof-control circumstances, such as the building collapsing while she’s sleeping, or an explosion occurring.

Samarin was unsure of what life would be like once she adopted Cheese Stick. Quickly, the puppy’s mischievous behavior helped Samarin overcome her fears.

“I didn’t know what I’d walk into when I got home, whether it was an emptied trash can, a hole dug into the drywall, ripped pillows, ripped apart toys, or a potty accident,” she says.

“The shedding also helped me. If a dog hair so much as was on my comforter, I’d want to wash all my bedding because I felt it was dirty.

I learned to get over my fear of dog fur on everything and the constant uncertainty of a puppy helped me adjust to manage anxiety, and expectations, and my version of perfection.”

In the dorms, she developed a new sense of responsibility with Cheese Stick, as she would push her out of bed to get exercise and use the restroom.

LIFE AT GCU WITH CHEESE STICK Samarin says she needed a doctor’s note and vaccination certificate for Cheese Stick to be allowed on campus.

Along with this, the campus had ground rules, some of which included a leash when not in the dorm, cleaning up after the pet outside, and no barking.

Samarin says she did receive a

noise complaint in the beginning when Cheese Stick cried for her owner when she was away for long periods of time This issue, and other small challenges of raising Cheese Stick in the dorm were easily fixed with the help of her boyfriend and three roommates, who loved Cheese Stick dearly and were attentive to all the growing pup’s needs.

“I think she had caused some stress and sometimes it was hard,” she says.

“She cost money, especially with emergency vet bills or food or bigger collars. I think she taught me responsibility that I really needed to get me through college and adult life.

Knowing another life depends on me and loves me no matter what, makes me feel so happy, and loved. I don’t want to imagine life without her.”

She was grateful she could exercise with Cheese Stick on GCU’s spacious grounds and found it easy to care for her within the dorms.

PRE-OWNED

With carpetless dorms, accidents and paw prints were not an issue.

“I cannot begin to describe how much Cheese has helped me,” Samarin says.

“I feel loved so unconditionally as my true self. I’ve learned patience and I take care of myself by taking care of her. Her face and her silly personality bring me so much pure joy. Her cuddles and comfort bring me peace and security on my worst days. She’s always there always with me when others like my parents or my boyfriend can’t be. It’s hard to put into words exactly how much she’s helped me and continued to motivate me and allow me to have purpose to get out of bed even if it’s to walk her or feed her or let her out in my backyard. Those kinds of first steps lead to major improvements in someone suffering from mental health distress.”

Samarin, 21, graduated as a health care administration major at GCU in 2021, and now works as an

administrative assistant to a nurse case manager in Orange County, California, where she grew up.

In Samarin’s current career, she can bring Cheese Stick to work with her daily and feels blessed to have her ESA with her on stressful days.

“It’s almost like she’s my cheerleader,” Samarin says.

“She continues to show unconditional love and support and has such a big personality. She’s definitely a bright spot in my life and I don’t regret one second of owning Cheese Stick. She’s the best decision and leap of faith I’ve made.

“I definitely would not trade my college experience for the world.

Cheesey is my best friend and truly helped me so much in college. She has been such a great source of joy and comfort.”

CERTAPET STUDY According to a recent study by Certapet, 99.29% of respondents say that their ESA made them feel secure and 94% mentioned less generalized anxiety disorders.

Certapet is an online platform improving access to mental health care by helping individuals to secure their ESA letters.

An ESA letter is an official document signed by a licensed mental health professional and can also be prescribed by other health

professionals who have familiarity with an individual’s medical condition or a person’s disability, such as a general practitioner or a psychiatrist.

Once qualified for an ESA, the next step is to make sure the individual can properly care for the animal. This entails a list of questions such as, are they able to take them out to get exercise, can they afford their care, and can they

provide proper attention?

Prairie Conlon, a licensed mental health professional and clinical director for Certapet, says ESAs serve as a natural form of therapy for college students struggling with maintaining a healthy state of mind.

“Emotional support animals help by creating a healthy distraction from negative thinking, because they demand attention, they want to cuddle and they want to play,”

Conlon says.

“This can create enough mental distance from negative thinking that clients are then able to disconnect from that vicious cycle of worry and anxiety where they’re just ruminating.”

Conlon says as a certified counselor, the need for emotional support animals for students should be based solely by assessment, to determine if they’d benefit from counseling and mental health treatments. She also mentions that students with an ESA should be a part of a treatment plan led by a professional, too.

She says sometimes ESAs are not the best option for those diagnosed with mental illnesses. She says the stress of caring for an animal can sometimes make the situation worse, and from this comes the importance of assessments.

The long-term relationship with the ESA benefits the owners, Conlon says.

“The accountability alone can help bring a sense of grounding in normality to situational stressors or mental health stressors.

Additionally, emotional support animals are mindful, in the moment, and they’re not worried about mistakes they make. They don’t hide their emotions, and they’re able to provide unconditional love.” CT

A ROADMAP TO CHOOSING A MAJOR SAMANTHA PACHECO MOLINA • COLLEGE TIMES

C

hoosing a college major is like stepping into your favorite ice cream shop.

You are instantly met by both an enticing aroma and by the daunting task of selecting the perfect flavor. If you are anything like me, you probably want to sample 10 different kinds before making a solid decision.

Picking a college major is much more important and intimidating than opting between cookie dough and rainbow sherbet soft serve.

Ideally, a college major can open doors into the workforce and help pave the way to a fulfilling career.

With hundreds of major options, how can one narrow down the perfect one?

Before you melt under the pressure, here are some things to think about before making the big commitment.

CONSIDER THE TYPE OF SCHOOL YOU WILL BE ATTENDING Some people know what major they want from the get-go. If you

have your heart set on a specific major and college, ensure that the school of your choice offers a degree within that area. Select a major that your school specializes in to learn from the best professors in the field. Check out online ratings and communicate with students directly to find out what majors are popular, well-organized, or have high graduate success rates at your university.

THINK ABOUT WHAT EXCITES YOU A good place to start when thinking about future majors is your interests. Remember that it is your education path and if you dislike what you are studying, the rest of your college experience will be miserable. If you have a genuine like for a certain area and see yourself being happy in it in the future, you may have found your answer.

CONSIDER THE TALENTS YOU ALREADY HAVE Time to let your talents shine.

STRAIGHT TO THE FACTS. Are there too many voices in your head during election season?

Hard to choose a path? Not knowing what’s around the next corner? Get the facts. Citizens Clean Elections Commission takes the guess work out of voting and gives you straightforward, unbiased, nonpartisan, election information.

14 COLLEGE SURVIVAL GUIDE 2022 - TIPS. TRICKS AND SECRETS

What school subjects do you enjoy and perform well in? It’s probably not a great idea to major in something that you know you are pretty weak in. Take into consideration the coursework that comes with pursuing a college education.

If you’ve barely pulled a C in calculus classes through high school, going into a math-heavy major means putting in more work.

Performing poorly in a single class does not have to rule out an entire degree program, however, as long as you give your skills a chance to grow.

CONSIDER POTENTIAL INCOME While most will tell you salary shouldn’t be a deciding factor, in reality, different majors make it harder or easier to earn a solid income. It can be valuable for prospective and current college students to know which career paths are more or less likely to lead to a high salary. Those who have an idea of what they’ll make after college can get a jump-start on budgeting for things like student loan payments or graduate school.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t do what you love while chasing a highpaying career.

DO YOUR RESEARCH ON MAJORS EARLY The early bird gets the worm.

When your entire future hinges on the decisions you make over the next four years, it’s easy to put a lot of pressure on every choice. Despite this fear, many students don’t do a lot of research when choosing a major. While family and friends are well-intentioned, they often can’t tell you everything you need to know. Take introductory courses and question upperclassmen. Taking these steps will help provide some clarity on majors that interest you.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO CHANGE YOUR MIND To reiterate, as you take more college classes, your interest in majors will likely expand as you experience new classes. It is normal to change majors — a few times, actually. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 80% of students in the United States change their major at least once.

Suddenly discovering a new passion that can translate into a career is common and should be explored, even if it means spending a little more time on campus.

WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK FOR HELP Declaring a major isn’t a decision

you have to make alone. Leaning on others can help you realize things you wouldn’t have come to on your own. Utilize those close to you! Ask family and friends what traits they see in you and what they see you doing five years from now.

Academic advisers are trained to help students figure out what they want to do with their lives and how

to go about achieving their goals.

STILL UNDECIDED? It is likely you can try all these tips carefully and still find yourself asking, “What do I major in?!” That’s perfectly OK. You don’t need to have a field of study declared on the first day. Find what works for you, even if that means taking extra time to figure it out. CT

7 WAYS TO BEAT THE ‘FRESHMAN 15’ ANNIKA TOMLIN • COLLEGE TIMES

T

he dreaded “freshman 15” is a myth to some but a horrible reality to others. It’s not something to completely brush off.

As you gain weight, it’s harder to get it off. The old saying “seconds on the lips and a lifetime on the hips” is one to consider while making choices during freshman year. Here are seven tips to beat the “freshman 15.”

#1 HEALTHY SNACKS Many grab a bag of chips for a snack. They’re salty and full of flavor—and many other bad things. Replace it with trail mix or hummus and celery. Find healthy snack options that still satisfy your cravings and don’t make you feel groggy. The more you do this, the simpler it’ll become.

#2 HAVE A WORKOUT BUDDY Unless working out is your profession, no one really likes doing it. Grab a friend to help you through the workout. Friends or family members are great workout buddies and motivators. Having someone

you naturally get along with makes the workout time fly by.

#3 CURB SOCIAL CALORIES Parties, dates or social gatherings usually involve food and that makes it easy to skip making healthy choices. Try to look at a menu before you commit and see if it has healthy options. If not, suggest a different restaurant. Friends who know you are trying to watch what you eat will not give it a second thought if you decide to go to a salad bar versus Buffalo Wild Wings. Know your limits and stick with them.

#4 LIMIT ALCOHOL It is called a beer gut for a reason.

In college everyone drinks—just don’t overdo it. Overdrinking can lead to serious health issues or even alcohol poisoning. Add midnight munchies after a full night of drinking and you can easily max your daily intake of calories in just a few hours.

#5 DRINK WATER Water is what keeps our body

moving all day. It is not a one-sizefits-all weight-loss cure, but it will help your metabolism to process food at a normal pace. Drink a glass of water before a meal or snack and it will help prevent you from overeating.

#6 MANAGE STRESS College can be stressful no matter what. Eating isn’t the right way to cope with it. Everyone loves a good piece of chocolate when they are stressed out. Switch up your stress relievers and do pushups instead.

Doing physical activity fools your

body into thinking you’re escaping the source of your stress.

#7 SLEEP Sleep is important. While you are sleeping your body metabolizes food and helps you process all that you ate the day before. A good night sleep helps with stress and boosts your energy level. If you are tired, you are more likely to grab a sugar- and caffeine-loaded beverage along with midnight munchies to help you stay awake. Instead, take a power nap. It’s the same benefits of a caffeinated drink, with none of the calories. CT

TOP 5 PLACES TO STUDY JOE MCHUGH • COLLEGE TIMES

S

tudying can be daunting and time consuming. Sitting down and piling knowledge into your mind does not sound like an ideal way to spend an evening. There are ways to make studying easier and more fun. Proper studying tactics, study buddies and interesting ways to study all make the time you are taking to prepare more fun. But why not add one more thing to that list? Finding a cool place to study can make the difference in enjoying your time learning or dreading it. So here are the top five places to study.

STUDY ROOM This might be controversial, because it is not the most exciting place to study, but you’ll focus on what you’re working on. Some study in their bedroom, but that comes with distractions. Nearby video games, phone use and friends can take your mind off the task at hand. A study room allows you to be completely locked in. There are rarely distractions, as usually you are the only person in that room.

Throw on a good studying playlist and find your way into that A!

COFFEE SHOP If quiet and alone is not your thing, then try a local coffee shop.

It provides a new atmosphere and eliminates that feeling of being alone. Everyday worries are gone, too, like why there are so many bugs in your room, whether you need to do your laundry, or anything else off topic. Buy a coffee or your favorite drink, sit down and listen to music to help you get in the zone for your next test.

PARK If being locked in a room or a confined space is not your thing, then fear not. Your local park can be a perfect place to study. Being in a room for a long period of time can make you stressed and unmotivated, so take your studies outside. Feeling the breeze, listening to the birds, and getting sun, are all good ways to break up the boring part of studying.

You can find an internet connection in most parks, so it will be a great place to get your work done.

THE LIBRARY With less noise and more room

to focus, the library is similar to the study room. However, the library has more resources. Along with a comfy chair and Wi-Fi, there are librarians who specialize in answering questions and directing visitors to a place where you can get the knowledge you need. Take advantage of this and get to studying.

YOUR BEDROOM I know we’ve said previously the bedroom isn’t the best place.

But it may be good for some. It is a comfortable place where you can focus in peace and quiet. One way to spice it up is to have a buddy over so both of you can get the grade you worked hard for.

Overall, these places are great for getting you where you need to be for that upcoming quiz or a final exam that is right around the corner.

Studying can be fun, and these places are sure to keep you focused and prepared to get your A! CT

TIPS FOR SUCCESS TYLER WEGLEITNER • COLLEGE TIMES

T

he beginning of the school year can present numerous social and academic challenges. However, everyone should have the opportunity to be successful at completing their education.

Here are eight tips for success from Melissa Carpenter, director of foundations for student success at Mesa Community College.

1. MANAGE YOUR TIME All college students should create a time management plan to

stay organized and be successful.

Carpenter said this is one of the most important things students can do, and in doing so, they can prevent problems.

“I think that the biggest issue that I see freshmen facing is time management to make sure that they align the way they’ve allocated their time with the expectations of the professors,” she said.

She said there are many ways to manage time, from planners and smartphone apps to websites and online calendars.

2. FORM A STUDY GROUP “This is something that a lot of students at the community college don’t take advantage of, but it’s forming a study group,” Carpenter said.

She recommends having study groups for each class, as these can be extremely helpful for difficult classes and subjects.

“Your program of study is so unique and there’s so many different math levels or science courses you might be involved in so I would definitely recommend that would be on a class-by-class basis and some subjects will lend themselves better to study groups than others,” she said.

There are many types of study

groups to accommodate various schedules. These can range from informal group chats to weekly meetings with set times and dates.

Virtual study groups can also accommodate busier schedules.

3. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE TUTORING AT YOUR COLLEGE Carpenter said all students should utilize free tutoring services provided by their college. Not only can alternative options be expensive, they also may not be tailored to your class, school or professor.

“The advantage of using internal tutoring services is that

come through interacting with peers, staff members, club advisors and faculty through these different mechanisms,” Carpenter said. “It could be related to their career or program of study.”

4. VISIT PROFESSORS DURING OFFICE HOURS

6. HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE

Students should also visit their professors during office hours to ask for help and to build meaningful relationships with their educators.

“It’s one of the best steps they can take,” Carpenter said. “Professors are human, and they care about students, they’re concerned about how students are learning, and they want to be available to help students.”

She said office hours can be very helpful for students who may not have the confidence to ask questions in class. Building relationships with professors and staff may eventually lead to other opportunities.

Students should hold themselves accountable by making sure they complete assignments. Students should find someone to help them do so.

“Make sure you have someone you’re accountable to, so it could be a family member, it could be a significant other, it could be a student in your class,” she said. “But you need to have someone you’re reporting back to, this will make you feel like you’re not just on your own.”

Carpenter recommends setting goals with this person and keeping them updated on any progress.

5. GET INVOLVED In addition to prioritizing classes, Carpenter said students should “get involved in at least one college club, organization or activity.” Students can embrace a sense of belonging and will start to connect with likeminded people.

“There’s a lot of enrichment and personal development that can

7. ASK FOR HELP College can be difficult in many ways, and students shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help. There are many resources available, and students should be taking advantage of them. These resources extend beyond academic help.

“A lot of colleges have people that donate food and students can go and pick up something every week to take

care of that need,” she said. “Or they don’t have a bus pass, and we might have some bus passes that we can give out for a very inexpensive rate.”

8. MANAGE STRESS AND ANXIETY

she said.

Carpenter said it is important to have a positive mindset, so utilize the available resources, from counseling services to breathing exercises and smartphone apps. CT

One critical thing to remember is the importance of mental health. Students should find ways to manage stress and anxiety that may develop throughout the school year.

“There are physiological reasons why your body reacts to moments of stress and that can be a negative thing, or it could also be positive for your performance,”

BIG IDEAS

TARA WILLIAMS COMES IN AS BARRETT’S NEW DEAN ERYKA FORQUER • COLLEGE TIMES

C

alling ASU “meaningful,” Tara Williams took over Barrett, The Honors College, on August 1, due to Mark Jacobs’ retirement.

Williams is the former dean of the University of Alabama Honors College.

“Barrett is a place, as is ASU overall, that is always interested in figuring out what the next really meaningful thing we can do to support students is,” Williams says.

“Thinking about students holistically, thinking about a student as a person who’s doing lots of different things in the classroom and beyond, that’s the kind of work that I’m excited to join the Barrett community in doing now.”

As dean of an honors college, Williams says she cherishes the relationships that she builds with students and enjoys working closely with them.

“It’s one of the reasons why I’ve decided to pursue a career in honors education, because the dean of an honors college often has more opportunities to interact with students closely than other colleges might,” Williams says.

“So that’s one of the things I find most engaging and rewarding about working in honors colleges.”

A Florida native, Williams earned her undergraduate degree in English from the University of Florida and went on to obtain her Doctor of Philosophy from Rutgers University.

“I experimented with a lot of different options but in the end, English was the thing that I felt most passionate about and most interested in pursuing,” Williams says. “So, I kept studying English, and when I got to graduate school, I specialized in medieval literature and culture.”

After college, Williams became a full-time faculty member at Oregon State University where she taught English and conducted research.

Once she joined the university’s administration and served as the associate dean of the honors college, Williams continued teaching to get “the experience of being with the students in the classroom.”

“Once I started in administration, I continued to teach,” Williams says.

“That’s something that I’m looking forward to doing at Barrett as well, is teaching maybe a human event or perhaps a seminar.”

Williams’ career pivoted and she became dean of the University of Alabama Honors College. While there, Williams dedicated her role to increasing the diversity of incoming students, created additional faculty and staff positions and implemented a testoptional admissions pathway.

Williams also helped construct “BIG Ideas,” a contest designed to provide students with the opportunity of entrepreneurship and innovation.

“We developed a pilot that we ran last spring where we had seven teams come up with a solution to address some kind of global issue,” Williams says. “They presented that solution and were able to work with mentors and experts in the field that were relevant to their projects.

Many of them were alumni of the Honors College.”

Williams says the contest was “off to a successful start in Alabama” and could be an exciting project for other universities to replicate.

“That was a valuable experience for our students and alumni, one that I think could translate to other people,” Williams says.

Outside of her career and role as a dean, Williams is a reading and running enthusiast.

“I am much better at one of those than the other,” Williams says.

She is also the author of “Inventing Womanhood: Gender and Language in Later Middle English Writing” and “Middle English Marvels: Magic, Spectacle, and Morality in the Fourteenth Century.” The two books focus on varying aspects of the Middle Ages, a time that Williams says is still influential.

“A lot of our present-day concepts can be traced back to the Middle Ages, and even some of our presentday language can be traced back to the Middle Ages,” Williams says. “So, it’s really interesting to me to see some of that taking shape and how

20 COLLEGE SURVIVAL GUIDE 2022 - TIPS. TRICKS AND SECRETS

that might be relevant to the world we live in today.”

If Williams were to write an additional book in the future, she says it would likely be on education.

“One of the reasons that I have stuck with honors education and wanted to be involved in education is because I think it’s a place where we can experiment, learn things and innovate in ways that will then influence the entire landscape of higher education,” Williams says. “A book that looks into that would be an exciting project for me.”

As Williams moves to Arizona, she says she is excited to discover new hiking trails and view the state’s scenery. She is also eager to return to ASU and connect with the students and faculty.

“Meeting the students and

talking with them has been the real highlight of my visits to campus up to this point,” Williams says. “I can’t wait to meet more of them and hear about their experiences at Barrett and what they find really valuable and what they hope to see develop.”

Williams says she will draw from her experience working in honors college and her role as dean with other universities. She is looking to implement her past work of increasing the diversity of incoming cohorts, developing curriculum and international experiences at ASU. “Those are some of the things that I want to talk with their community about and see how it will fit into what Barrett is already doing and what Barrett is envisioning for the future,” Williams says.
