What college will feel like sometimes. Photo by energepic.
Welcome new Seawolves of '25. Continuing your pursuit of knowledge is a huge “W.”
Being a student will have you feeling pressed in no time and it's important to be aware of the support that's available.
When I started my freshmen year, not gonna lie, I felt like an NPC — unaware of my surroundings and confused.
To put the fries in the bag, taking advantage of the resources on campus will have you feeling like you just aced an exam.
First off, I encourage y'all to squad up via the Campus Groups app. It has all the deets on current clubs and events. Having multiple squads is goated and helps to manage stress.
Locking in together via study groups is also huge.
Pay attention to the quest markers posted throughout campus, they can assist you to find your tribe.
If you run out of food to cook, you can pull up to the Seawolf Food Pantry, located in the Professional Studies Building. You're able to use this service twice a month and it provides a three-day supply of shelf-stable food.
It was created by faculty from the dietetics and nutrition program, so I'm sure they'll provide ingredients to make sure that the food slaps.
College is a great place to meet like-minded people. Maybe you’ll rizz up someone, get ghosted, be left on read or you’re just simply not him, her or them — and that’s okay.
It’s easy to become delulu and be trapped in a negative mentality but there is support. The Student Heath and Counseling Center and the Psychological Services Center are here and will hopefully get you back in tune with your main character energy.
The Student Health and Counseling Center also provides services such as seasonal flu shots, STI screening and contraceptives.
If your bestie or peeps exhibit sus behavior, you can refer them to the Care Team anonymously, and they will reach out to gas them up.
This is not an exhaustive list of all the resources UAA offers, and I hope you explore campus, the website or talk to a trusted boomer. Finally, chat, the last tip I have is to check your emails, that’s the sauce fr fr.
