 It's first year hard. It's hard if you make it hard. It's not hard. It's different. It's something that you haven't done before. First year is hard from the point of view that it is a lot of change. Probably the first thing you need to know, first year you need to just manage your time well. First year is probably easier than the second and third. So try really hard and that way you get your GPA as high as you can and give you a bit of a buffering for second year. So it's not hard but you just need to be quite dedicated to your studies and then you'll be fine. First year can also be really liberating. It can be a lot of freedom and it can be a lot of fun.
