Start Smart: Eight Ways to Get Your Semester Off on the Right Track
1. Connect with other students. Being socially involved gives balance to a stressful life. Don’t hesitate to talk to your classmates. You may have more in common that just a classroom.
2. Get in touch with your professors. E-mail or stop by during their office hours. Let them know specifically what you like about their classes. Ask them to refer you to resources if you need help.
3. Make a good impression. Do all your homework, come to class prepared and fully participate in class discussions. You will be taken more seriously as a student if you come prepared from the start.
4. Manage your study time by creating two calendars: one with short-term assignments and one with long-term assignments. Once you get syllabi from your professors, record weekly and semester assignments. Get one wall calendar with all 12 months on it so you can keep long-term assignments, due dates, registration in f or mat ion , organiza t ional commitments and other important dates in front of you.
Use a monthly planner and assign each piece of homework to a certain day each week. This will help you visualize and anticipate your workload and plan ahead for weeks when you are balancing weekly assignments with term projects. Use electronic calendars, such as the calendar in your phone or a free Google Calendar attached to a Gmail account. Color-coding events by class is another way to picture what you need to do.
5. Make a weekly schedule. Write down all your class, work and study times, as well as organizational commitments, meal times and even breaks. Sticking to this schedule as closely as possible can help bring stability into your life.
6. Find out where to go for help before you need it. In case you need tutoring, medical care or mental health assistance later, find out where those services are on campus. Look at the academic services offered at SLAC by visiting www.txstate.edu/slac. Check out SLAC’s list of other campus academic services. On Texas State’s homepage, look under the drop-down menu for Current Students for information about other services, including medical, financial and recreational. Finally, look at the Counseling Center’s website for information on obtaining counseling should you need it.
7. Locate healthy outlets for fun and relief from stress. Joining a student organization related to your interests can help, as can visiting the campus recreational facilities. Ask the Campus Activities and Student Organizations (CASO) staff for suggestions. Or look into joining a sport club, of fered through Campus Recreation.
8. Set goals and make commitments. Doing this makes you far more likely to achieve what you came to college for in the first place! Remember to make your goals SMART: specific, measurable, realistic, and time-oriented (with concrete deadlines — some short-, others long-term). Have a great semester!
As you kick off the fall semester at Texas State, you face the task of setting or re-establishing your academic routines and habits. To help you start off your semester right, the Student Learning Assistance Center (SLAC) has a few time-tested suggestions.

Study Abroad Offers a World of PossibilitiesTexas State professors don’t encourage daydreaming during class, but they do encourage you to take a class that feels like a dream come true.Each semester, Texas State professors teach credit courses in far-off locales that enhance the learning experience. Philosophy in India, agriculture in England, art in Italy — these are just some of the options available.
Faculty-led study abroad programs range from summer trips lasting a couple of weeks to semester-long exchange programs that immerse students in a foreign university. Both undergraduates and grad students from all colleges will find options that complement their majors, interests, schedules and budgets.
“Students who have participated in study abroad programs often describe it as a life-changing experience,” says April Castro, a member of the Study Abroad staff. “It provides self-confidence and an ability to take risks. ... Students also gain independence and maturity that helps them prepare to face challenges in the future.”
Financial aid is available for all qualified students participating in Texas State and affiliated programs. Texas State also has a scholarship designated specifically to help Bobcats get out and see the world
through study abroad programs. Those who qualify for the International Education Fee Scholarship could receive anywhere from $750 to $3,500 toward their study abroad program.
Check out a world of possibilities on the Study Abroad website, studyabroad.txstate.edu, or stop by the office at 344 W. Woods Street. Staff members can help students find a program that meets their needs and provide guidance for those seeking to par ticipate in independent and non-affiliated programs.

Texas State officially joined the Sun Belt Conference on July 1, 2013, ushering in a new era in Bobcat athletics.
Texas State and fellow newcomers UT Arlington and Georgia State join a Sun Belt that retains Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Louisiana Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama, Troy and Western Kentucky, giving the league 10 teams for the 2013-14 season. UALR and UT Arlington will compete as non-football members.
In 2014-15, the league will add four more universities when Appalachian State and Georgia Southern officially join as all-sports members and Idaho and New Mexico State are added as football playing members.
The Sun Belt Conference is a member of the 10-league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series and soon-to-be College Football Playof f. This past season, the SBC sent four teams to postseason bowl games — the league’s highest total since it began sponsoring football in 2001. The SBC also posted a 7-2 record against Conference USA and tallied the highest non-conference win total in league history (19 ) . This success led to the conference having its highest-ever ranking in the BCS computer poll average — finishing ahead of both CUSA and the Mountain West Conference.
The conference also recently unveiled its new logo and brand after a nearly yearlong examination of the impact, sus tainabi l i t y and core values associated wi th the Sun Bel t Conference. “Together We Rise” is the new mantra for the conference and it is the foundation and essence of the contemporary logo that the league will now be identified with.
The Sun Belt has been in existence since 1976 and has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member board of directors, giving the conference a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines.
The league’s headquarters are in New Orleans, La., site of the 2014 Sun Belt Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament along with the R & L Carriers Bowl.
To purchase season t ickets, visit txstatebobcats.com/tickets or call 512.245.2272. To learn more about the Sun Belt Conference, go to www.sunbeltsports.org.

Ten Ways to Show Your Texas State PrideBobcats all across campus are gearing up for Texas State’s first season in the Sun Belt Conference. Here are some great ways to show your Texas State Pride this fall.
Stock up on Texas State T-shirts. Every Friday is Spirit Day on campus. Wear your maroon and gold proudly! Of course, you don’t have to wait until Friday …
Come out to Bobcat Stadium. Home games are free with your Texas State ID. Catch some Bobcat fever by cheering our teams on to victory.
Join a student organization. There are more than 300 student organizations on campus. Pick one that interests you. Getting involved with what’s going on around campus is not only a great way to show your enthu-siasm, it’s also a great way to make friends.
Follow Texas State on Facebook and Twitter. Stay updated on what’s happening on campus and in the Bobcat community. Use the hashtag #TXST on Twitter and Facebook posts.
Fill out your Gold Book. Record your memories in the Gold Book, a scrapbook designed to display points of pride, events, traditions and places at Texas State. Create a Gold Book album on Facebook and Instagram to show off your pride. Pick up your Gold Book at the Alumni Office in JCK 380.
Get involved with Bobcat Build. Each spring, students give back to San Marcos by participating in a community service project for a day with thousands of other Bobcats. Bobcat Build is the second-largest community service project in the state.
Attend homecoming events. Student organizations partici-pate in events the week leading up to Homecoming, the biggest home football game of the year. Some of the events include a soap box derby, intramural basketball, window painting and a talent show.
Read the school newspaper. The University Star is written by students and published every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during the school year. It’s a great way to get news about happenings in the San Marcos area, sports and trends. The Star’s website features interactive media and videos. Visit it at star.txstate.edu.
Follow the student code. Always represent your school proudly. Be conscientious, honest and respectful, and follow the Academic Honor Code. Doing your best shows pride in the value of your Texas State degree. www.dos.txstate.edu/hand-book/rules/honorcode
Attend on-campus activities. The Student Association of Campus Activities (SACA) holds events for students all year long. Show your school spirit every chance you get!

Cole M. Go Greek, join a student org, play intramurals, talk to the person next to you in class, go to the dining halls with people, hang out with your roommate and his/her friends, go to the rec, study groups, etc.
Shelby R. Find a designated ‘study-buddy’ in each class. That way, you’re able to study together, you could potentially take more classes with that person AND it keeps great diversity in the people you meet. I’ve met so many great people through Texas State and it’s because I introduced myself to them at the beginning of class. Very rewarding.
Andrew M. Definitely join organizations! Get involved, and what you put in you will get back out.
Dale Y. Join student organizations! It’s a great way to meet other Bobcats and get involved with Texas State.
Graciela P. Look up, smile and say hi! Put the phone away while walking on campus.
Jonathan B. If you were in music in high school, join one of the school of music performance ensembles.
Stephanie S. Talk to the people sitting around you while waiting for class to start, especially in an elective course; you obviously have something in common because you chose to take the same class. That’s how I met my best friend from Texas State.
Rachel S. Get to class early and talk to your classmates.
Sharon G. Share your swipes but don’t let people get crazy with it. Go Greek and join an organization associated with your major/minor.
Kyle C. Join a sport club. They’ll become your second family.
Kailee A. Go Greek! You will make lifelong friends and learn life values and lessons!
Travis B. Talk to your classmates. You already have something in common.
Will P. Most of my friends at Texas State were made through my fraternity and several campus organizations. I still maintain many of those friendships today, several years after graduating.
Voices of ExperienceBest Ways to Make New FriendsWe asked our social media community to tell us about some of the ways they’ve discovered to make new friends here on campus. Here are some of their suggestions:
Facebook FavesBest Places to Eat on CampusNext time you need to grab lunch between classes or relax with friends at the end at the day, consider some of these faves suggested by our Facebook community:
Shannon M. Commons on sandwich wrap days is my fave.
Channa T. Einstein’s ... fell in love with their blended coffee and bagels.
Josh T. Jones is where it’s at! Panda Express is my home. I gotta have me some orange chicken! Yum!
Montreal W. Chick-Fil-a or Blimpie’s and take it to George’s! Enjoy TV while eating your lunch!
Rob M. Commons hands down for breakfast because of the awesome omelet, the central location — and, of course, it’s all-you-can-eat!
LaRonda L. Commons all-you-can-eat is the best place to eat on campus!
Rhea E. Commons — best location, big variety, great staff and awesome breakfast.
K-lynn W. Commons — I love all the cakes and cookies! And the people there take time to talk. They know I always want extra tortillas — I don’t have to ask.
Allan Z. Harris — I like the healthy food there; they have a lot to choose from.

Cole M. Go Greek, join a student org, play intramurals, talk to the person next to you in class, go to the dining halls with people, hang out with your roommate and his/her friends, go to the rec, study groups, etc.
Shelby R. Find a designated ‘study-buddy’ in each class. That way, you’re able to study together, you could potentially take more classes with that person AND it keeps great diversity in the people you meet. I’ve met so many great people through Texas State and it’s because I introduced myself to them at the beginning of class. Very rewarding.
Andrew M. Definitely join organizations! Get involved, and what you put in you will get back out.
Dale Y. Join student organizations! It’s a great way to meet other Bobcats and get involved with Texas State.
Graciela P. Look up, smile and say hi! Put the phone away while walking on campus.
Jonathan B. If you were in music in high school, join one of the school of music performance ensembles.
Stephanie S. Talk to the people sitting around you while waiting for class to start, especially in an elective course; you obviously have something in common because you chose to take the same class. That’s how I met my best friend from Texas State.
Rachel S. Get to class early and talk to your classmates.
Sharon G. Share your swipes but don’t let people get crazy with it. Go Greek and join an organization associated with your major/minor.
Kyle C. Join a sport club. They’ll become your second family.
Kailee A. Go Greek! You will make lifelong friends and learn life values and lessons!
Travis B. Talk to your classmates. You already have something in common.
Will P. Most of my friends at Texas State were made through my fraternity and several campus organizations. I still maintain many of those friendships today, several years after graduating.
Voices of ExperienceBest Ways to Make New FriendsWe asked our social media community to tell us about some of the ways they’ve discovered to make new friends here on campus. Here are some of their suggestions:
Facebook FavesBest Places to Eat on CampusNext time you need to grab lunch between classes or relax with friends at the end at the day, consider some of these faves suggested by our Facebook community:
Shannon M. Commons on sandwich wrap days is my fave.
Channa T. Einstein’s ... fell in love with their blended coffee and bagels.
Josh T. Jones is where it’s at! Panda Express is my home. I gotta have me some orange chicken! Yum!
Montreal W. Chick-Fil-a or Blimpie’s and take it to George’s! Enjoy TV while eating your lunch!
Rob M. Commons hands down for breakfast because of the awesome omelet, the central location — and, of course, it’s all-you-can-eat!
LaRonda L. Commons all-you-can-eat is the best place to eat on campus!
Rhea E. Commons — best location, big variety, great staff and awesome breakfast.
K-lynn W. Commons — I love all the cakes and cookies! And the people there take time to talk. They know I always want extra tortillas — I don’t have to ask.
Allan Z. Harris — I like the healthy food there; they have a lot to choose from.
Zach L. Commons always has a good variety with healthy options and is very conveniently located in central campus. Plus, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
Ashton P. Commons has the best breakfast. The omelets there are ama-za-zing!
