How to Feel Less Overwhelmed on the First Week of Classes


“I’m a Tarheel born, I’m a Tarheel Bred. And when I die I’m a Tarheel Dead”
 ~UNC Alma Mater

 I recently experienced UNC's FDOC. The First Day of Classes! I moved in on Friday and settled into my dorm and now I’m here! I’ve been busy readjusting to a new schedule, trying not to fall of my lofted bed, and walking everywhere (at least my dorm is in a good location). Along with classes starting this week, the college has an event called Week of Welcome (WOW) where first years can learn everything about UNC from myriads of organizations, tours of different buildings, and more. Basically, it means I get a lot of free stuff.

So, I was hooked to attend all these events hosted by UNC until I realized I had to find a way to keep track of everything I was doing, prepare for an ensemble audition, start assignments, and find a way to find time to eat! So, I took out my Five Star® 2012-2013 planner, which basically decreased the overwhelming feelings inside. I was able to plan the rest of my days for the week. There I was able to write all my assignments, club meetings, and important events. Therefore, I could see right away what I could or could not do. It even has a perforated corner tab that you can tear out so you can easily turn to the page of the week unlike other planners that have that bookmark that always seems to either damage or never fit in the spiral binding.

UNC has been so exciting! I have lots of reading and papers all ready to do. Also, There has been plenty of practicing with my saxophone. I’m still working as a Five Star Ambassador at www.tinyurl.com/FSTeam which has been really fun as well. For all your organized needs, Five Star® is the way to go!
