My main piece of advice for Freshman Chemistry majors is to find the enjoyment in the process of achieving the grades you desire for yourself. Studying and keeping up with the reports can be tiresome and draining, but it is important to remind yourself of the enjoyment chemistry can bring you and why you chose to be a chemistry major.
