When it comes to preparing the essential items for your first day, where are you at?

I haven't thought much about what to bring yet. I've made a mental note of a few things, but haven't gathered them. I have most items ready, but I'm missing a few things. I have everything prepared: ID, charger, notebook, comfortable shoes, and more.

How confident do you feel about meeting new people and building friendships on day one?

Very nervous—I'd rather stay quiet and observe. Somewhat nervous, but I'll try to talk to a few people. Fairly confident—I have a plan to join activities and sit with different people. Very confident—I'm ready to take initiative, ask questions, and attend social events.

How prepared are you for the administrative and academic side of your first day?

I'm not sure what administrative tasks I need to complete. I know I need to do things like register for a student card, but I'm unclear on the details. I know the main tasks (student card, course confirmation, residence check-in) but haven't planned the order. I have a clear plan: student card, IT setup, course confirmation, and I know where to go for each.

How are you managing your emotions about starting university?

I'm feeling very anxious or overwhelmed about the whole experience. I'm nervous but trying to stay positive; I haven't done much mental preparation. I'm managing well—I've acknowledged my nerves and know what to expect. I'm excited and ready—I've visualized my first day and reframed nervousness as excitement.
