Well to begin I will like to congratulate you on being accepted at Tuks, for some people it is all they have ever wanted and for some well... they coming to Tuks because of they got accepted, they could basically be going anywhere in 2016... Welcome
When you come to Tuks there will be what we call orientation week, attend it especially if you don't know anyone, it's a good opportunity to meet new people doing the same course as you, just come and listen to the presentations, they were prepared specially for you as a first year
You then get to register, I will like to advice you and say please research in the modules/subjects you want to take next year, calculate the credits and understand what you getting yourself into, download the year books if you haven't already received one
Getting your student card is like getting you licence or smart ID card, well the experience is more fun and quick, not quicker, but you won't stand there annoyed and irritated... Dress well, hair and smile on point, you don't want to be over the top but look and feel good... Make sure you go in the morning when your fresh and positive
Draft your timetable in time even if it's in the same day you got your timetable book, pick out times good for you not your friend because you don't want to be blaming/hating anyone at that stage when they decide to change their times because of some other high school friend of theirs and you stand there looking all unloved, it's first year and first semester don't take anything personal
Triple check you time table, go look for the venues, you don't want to look all very lost on campus, though there are helpful assistants during the orientation week, but they won't stand there for the whole semester, security personnel is all a good option
Finally behave and have fun... The best moments of your life have just began... Trust me I know 2015 has been amazing and at Tuks if you don't study you don't pass, simple! Ou yah and 7distinctions you got in high school are cute just don't take it personal when you don't do well on your first test, it's Tuks after all (am not discouraging you but in a few months I have seen it all)
STUDY STUDY STUDY
Night Clubs will always be there, prioritise!!
Much love wishing you all the best for your final exams in high school!!
