Welcome to Northwest Embrace the new experience NATHAN ENGLISH Managing Editor @nathan_3nglish
For most of you, the last year in a half has looked very different from normal school. You were stuck in Zoom classes some or all days of the week. If you were in person, hopefully, you attended high schools that required masks and social distancing. The fall semester could be the first opportunity for some of you to experience regular face to face interactions with peers in 18 months, so
don’t waste it. College is great. It’s certainly better than high school. In this Cats Guide we are giving you all sorts of helpful tips and tricks, but the most important thing you can do is put yourself out there in the beginning. Yeah, it sounds super corny and like some terrible PSA that comes on during Nick at Nite, but it works. If you are coming in knowing no one, great. Talk to people and make new friends. If you are living with a friend from high school, great. Talk to people and make new friends. It’s a small school, so be nice to the people in your major; you are going to have class with them for
eight semesters. You should go to football and basketball games, meet people for coffee at the library, go on late night McDonald’s runs — and download the app. It will save you a bunch of money. The harsh reality is that you will be living in a small town with not much to do — and even if there was a lot to do, you probably couldn’t afford it because you are in college — so, having people you are close with is the best way to pass the time. One last tip, don’t take notes on your laptop if you don’t have to. It’s a dangerous game, and you don’t want to play it.
