Setting Up for Success in Your Freshman Year

Alright folks, we’re about to dive into the “Setting Up for Success in Your Freshman Year“. This lesson is going to be your key to unlocking the treasure chest that is the ‘Materials’ tab. The PDF file in there is not just a document; it’s a roadmap to your upcoming lessons and your future self-development. 🗺️

Together, we’re planting the seeds of knowledge and wisdom, nurturing them with our collective mindfulness. But first things first, grab that PDF from the Materials tab and give it a thorough read.

Now, let me share a little secret about our course. It’s designed to get you involved, not just online but also offline. So, if you’ve got a printer handy, we strongly suggest printing out these materials. Why, you ask? Well, it’s all about building your personal toolkit for happiness. 📚🖨️

Stepping away from your screen and engaging with the physical materials creates a tangible reference point for your journey. Imagine, by the end of this program, having a folder full of wisdom that you can refer back to when life throws you a curveball. Sounds cool, right?

If you’re ready to embrace the offline aspect, here’s a quick shopping list to get your BU Happiness College toolkit started:

• 1x ring binder (pick your favorite color, but hey, we’re pretty fond of green)
• Pack of A4 plastic sleeves (perfect for storing cheat sheets or quick reference items)
• Colored separators (because organization is a thing of beauty)
• An A4 exercise book (ideal for journaling activities and free writing)

P.S. Throughout the course you will see the below to emoji’s that mark their own special sections:
