Hello,
I am a Junior at Old Dominion University. I transferred into ODU with an associate in " computer aided Drafting and Design Technology". So I have to take no electives and only have to take my core classes which happens to be physics, math, and some chemistry. This is why I'm considered a junior even though I've only taken calculus one based physics 1. With many physics classes ahead of me I am in search of words of wisdom, tips, tricks, and even reality checks.
