What made 1st year difficult for you?

ANY TIPS for 1st year dental students?

Take it 1 test at a time. Don't get depressed/stressed if your not #1, they usually live and breathe studying.
 
The days and the weeks can be long, but when you look back, it seems like it just flew by and you always begin to miss it... Okay the last part was a lie, you don't miss it.

Just realize you may have weeks where it seems like you just won't get any sleep till next tuesday... over and over again.. but it does make things go kinda fast.

In short, I think not getting much sleep was a really hard part for me, but some people did.

Focus on each day, one day at a time. Don't get stressed out about what you have to do next week... you'll get there soon enough. The more you dwell on what you have to do later, the worse you'll do what needs to be done now. Get in a good rhythm and remember the end goal.
