Going through tough classes makes it very easy to meet people. I’ve gotten to know a lot of the people in my Statics and Calculus classes. This can especially be helpful for first generation students as described in First in the Family. “Many first-generation college students notice that their classmates are much better prepared for demanding college work than they are.

I frequently got burned out from studying or just felt defeated, but talking to people and doing social things is relaxing. I would say I had decent social capital when I entered NIU, I wasn’t an outcast, but I was not very outgoing. I really do think it is essential to be social and relax with friends, or else you can really put a strain on yourself.
