Eight alumni returned to Sem to answer questions from the student body about their college experiences.<\/p><\/div>\n

By Thomas\u00a0Rydzewski<\/p>\n

In a recent assembly, Sem alumni, who are currently in college, came and relayed information about their first year at a higher education school to Sem students, along with some suggestions from their college experiences. One of the questions asked was about the workload, which apparently wasn\u2019t as much as expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many students asked about the daunting workload of college, and the alumni said it was less stressful than expected. Some of these alumni are those who play Division 1 and three sports. One alum even claimed that Sem was harder than college, and all said that they were prepared for college due to Sem. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the alumni did more than just complement Sem. They gave helpful advice; adding on to the generic \u201cyou should actually study\u201d advice, the alumni suggested we do many things: get enough sleep (naps count), study a week in advance, conference; use meal passes; check out all scholarships; and know you\u2019re not the only new student (so be outgoing.) \u201cThe friends you make in the first week will stick with you forever!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, it was great to see the alumni return to Sem, and their advice will be helpful to not only seniors, but juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, too!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
