A year ago today I gave some advice to incoming freshmen in a thread. I stand by all this. https://twitter.com/lukestamps/status/1163233488860045312
If I were to take a fresh stab at it this year, I'd simplify it to just these points:
1. Mind your body
2. Mind your mind
3. Mind your soul
4. Mind your relationships
5. Mind your schedule
1. Mind your body
2. Mind your mind
3. Mind your soul
4. Mind your relationships
5. Mind your schedule
1. Body: mask up, physical distance, eat well, exercise daily, get enough sleep, drink plenty of water
2. Mind: read great books, meditate, get outside, have meaningful conversations, seek help if you need it
3. Soul: pray morning, evening, and night; read Scripture slowly, prayerfully, and contemplatively; make diligent use of the means of grace in the body of Christ
4. Relationships: serve others rather than asking in pity why they aren't serving you; never ask from another person what only Jesus can be for you; find a mentor; be a mentor
5. Schedule: get up early; outside of class, think in terms of tasks instead of time; work while you work and play while you play
