So it’s your sophomore year, and you’re wondering about your academic plans. You also might consider your career prospects and plan the courses for your major. You might feel a little worried about your housing situation. I know I was. I was worried about having to live with roommates. Would I have been in a double or a triple? And how I would navigate the struggles of living with people I do not know well while navigating the academic aspects of college life.
All this being said, there are a few things I’d advise you to do during your sophomore year.
- Complete your general education requirements, and start taking a language class if you haven’t already.
- Take time to explore things you are passionate about that genuinly interest you. Get involved in an on-campus leadership activity.
- Apply for fellowships!
- Fill out the roommate survey!
- Join clubs and activities across the 5Cs!
- Be kind to yourself. College is hard, and you will make mistakes. Unexpected things will arise, and you are bound to change. All of which is okay. Scripps is a space for learning and growth. You’re doing the right thing as long as you work to be a little better each day.
I wish you the best of luck with your sophomore year! & feel free to reach out at [email protected] if you have any questions :))
