College is much different than high school. When I was coming in to South, I thought I knew exactly what to expect; I was wrong. So here are 5 tips to help you to be better prepared for the transition from high school/community college to college. 1. Learn how to manage your time well, if you don't already know. In college, there are many times that you'll have more free time than you know what to do with. If you have a few hours between classes and you have homework due, go ahead and do it. Try not to waste extra time during the week, because everything that you push off, you'll have to do on the weekend. 2. Adjust your study habits. I know there are many people that didn't have to study for any tests in high school; that won't always be the case in college so perfect your study habits to actually learn and not just memorize. 3.

Hey, y'all! I'm back with another blog topic for the week. I'm going to talk about why you should apply to South and my personal reaction when I was accepted.

I have found my passion for helping people here and I have gotten out of my comfort zone and done things I never thought I would do. I have been extended many opportunities and taken full advantage of them. I never feel alone here because everyone here has the mentality of helping one another.

When I was accepted, I was very excited because South was one of two colleges in my radar. In addition to being accepted, I was awarded many scholarships which made me very happy. I'm pretty sure I got up and danced around the room. Many people stray away from college due ...

Hello, beautiful people. My name is Mikayla Johnson. I am a sophomore at South and I am a Radiologic Sciences major. My favorite thing to do is probably eating and I love to laugh and make others laugh. Now that I've told you a little about myself, I'll tell you a little about South. I would say my favorite thing about South is the available opportunities here. Firstly, there's the opportunity to meet new people. I joined many clubs my freshman year and I met many people who I can now call my friends. I also got the opportunity to network with different faculty members that could possibly write recommendation letters for me in the future. I learned so much about the university and even more about myself and my capabilities. South is a place of diversity and inclusion and there are so many things to do and be a part of. It would definitely be a true statement to say that everyone can find their place here at South. Go Jags!
