Honestly, I felt the exact same way after orientation—I couldn’t remember a single thing. Everything was happening so fast: moving in, meeting new people, running around to different venues. They gave us so much information in just a few days, and by the end of it, my brain was just overloaded. I remember feeling like everyone else had it figured out while I was still trying to understand where the library was. What helped me was slowly figuring things out as I went. I started asking other students for directions, checking notice boards, and even re-reading the orientation booklet they gave us (if you still have yours, dig it out!). Don’t worry if you don’t remember everything—you’re not alone. Most of us learned through trial and error. Just be open to asking questions, and you’ll settle in better than you think.
