According to BYU-Idaho’s Newsroom, approximately 5,500 first-time freshmen entered the BYUI campus in this semester alone.
If you’re one of the new freshmen still trying to find their way around campus (or if you’ve been here awhile), here are some tips that will help you hit the ground running as a first-time college student.

Todd Kelson has been teaching biology at BYU-Idaho for 28 years. He talked about the importance of learning what success looks like in the classroom.
“I want [students] to … have confidence in getting a job that will support them and their family,” said Kelson. “I’m hoping that by having success here, they will recognize it, so when they get into a future career, they’ll know what success looks like and feels like.”
Kelson highlighted finding success in college and shared a deeper look into what success looks like.
“I always emphasize to my students, success does not mean that you’re getting an A in the class,” Kelson said. ”There’s people like me that got a B average or a little bit higher in college, and then go on to be very successful later, because they learned how to think. And that is what’s important, learning how to think.” 
Kelson described the difference between learning what to think and how to think. Learning how to think is critical because you take that thinking with you outside of school.
“All of my classes so far have kind of worked together, and they’ve overlapped,” said Ryan Larsen, a biochemistry major. “And those connections can matter to life. I mean, I had a full-blown conversation in this cafeteria over biology and how it affected how we see things and how we do things, and personally, I would say that’s the point of loving what you’re studying, right? If you actually do, you’ll think of it outside of school, not just in school.”
Larsen described how he has learned the value of learning how to think as he has begun to make connections across classrooms and even outside of school.
“I feel like one of the secrets I’ve had when it comes to having success in school comes down to a student-teacher relationship,” said Nathan Seegmiller, a psychology major.  
Seegmiller said that he meets with his professors as soon as possible. He learns about their expectations and shares his goals with them, so they can help him throughout the course. 
“And then another thing is where you choose to sit,” Seegmiller said. “You can’t always sit at the front of the class; sometimes it’s full, and that’s okay. But you can still interact with the class. Even if you’re not physically a front seat student, mentally be a front seat student.” 
Seegmiller said that you can still raise your hand to ask questions and meet with the teacher after class. This will show them that you’re a front-seat student even if you’re sitting at the back.  
According to Larsen, it’s okay to be vulnerable and acknowledge what you don’t know.
“You can be comfortable with being imperfect. It is a part of nature.” Larsen said.   
“I feel like sometimes students wait for a teacher to tell them, ‘This is what you need to do to study for the test.’ Some students wait for somebody else to form a study group.” Kelson said.  
Kelson said that successful students don’t wait for other people; they take the initiative.  
“So I think that those self-driven students are the ones who will do well, because they know what they want and they’re willing to put in the time to get there,” Kelson said.
There’s a lot to balance when you start the college experience. These are just a couple of tips to get you started, so that instead of feeling like you’re floundering, you can hit the ground running.

The cryptocurrency market just pulled the rug on leverage again, clearing out more than $270 million in forced liquidations in just the last 24 hours. Ethereum traders absorbed the hardest hit with $132.8 million erased, Bitcoin followed with $126.2 million and XRP holders alone lost $12.4 million.
Powell tried to spark some risk appetite by signaling that the Fed is done with quantitative tightening, but it barely changed anything. Prices are still struggling to lift, leverage remains exaggerated and every bounce feels one headline away from a retrace.
Bitcoin price news: BTC at $111,000 as longs wiped out
Bitcoin closed the session yesterday at $111,706, positive on the day but still trapped below the key $114,000 ceiling. The coin had previously slipped to $110,400 before clawing back, but futures data shows $126.23 million in liquidations, the majority long-side.BINANCE:BTCUSD by TradingView">
The "Black Friday" flush may have caused some trauma, but the current setup is clearer than ever: $110,000 is the critical floor, while $114,500 is the cap bulls need to break to unlock momentum toward $118,000. Until one side gives, the market remains in limbo.
Powell’s softer tone is keeping macro traders from abandoning crypto entirely, as "money printer" hopes are there; but without ETF inflows or sustained spot demand, Bitcoin looks stuck.
Figure of the day: Ripple CEO slams regulators over banking access
At DC Fintech Week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made the case without compromise: if crypto firms are required to follow strict AML, KYC and OFAC compliance frameworks, then regulators must provide equal access to financial infrastructure — especially the Federal Reserve’s master accounts.
.@s_alderoty Ripple's legal chief breaks down why XRP has no CEO $XRP https://t.co/9vsbYj8Jqf
Ripple's own application for a U.S. national banking license is already in progress, but traditional banks are putting up a lot of resistance. Major institutions, nervous about direct competition, are putting a lot of effort into lobbying against Ripple joining the group, according to Garlinghouse. The company made it clear that if equal rules do not mean equal rights, then regulation becomes selective enforcement.
This is Ripple's biggest move yet to bring crypto and regulated finance together, and it is a big deal for more than just one company. If it works, it will set a precedent for crypto-native firms operating under the same laws but still being locked out of core banking rails.
Chart of the day: XRP suffers 635% liquidation shock as bull get "rekt"
At first glance, XRP seems to be holding strong at $2.43, but digging deeper into the derivatives data reveals another story. In just one day, $12.43 million in futures contracts were liquidated, with $10.74 million of that tied to long positions. The imbalance shows a 635% spike compared to average ratios, exposing how one-sided speculative bets had become.
The sell-off earlier in the week that dragged the XRP price below $2 caught traders unawares, and the rebound was not enough to restore confidence.CoinGlass">
Adding to the narrative, there are some big decisions about XRP ETFs coming up later in October, and that is what everyone in the XRP community is worried about.
So, XRP traders are dealing with two different stories at the moment: Ripple's major push for banking equality on one side, and the raw market mechanics of overleveraged positions blowing out on the other ahead of the ETF deadline.
Ethereum can grab 60% share of $2 trillion stablecoin market
Joe Moglia, former TD Ameritrade CEO, predicts stablecoins to hit $2 trillion in five years, with Ethereum controlling 60% of the market. Tokenization is the "new economy," he says, meaning that financial instruments like stocks, ETFs and insurance contracts will move to blockchain.
Ethereum's strength is its programmable infrastructure, which can enhance traditional settlement systems — the "digital oil," as it is sometimes called.
However, the market is not reflecting this optimism, with ETH futures liquidations at $132.8 million in a single day. This has pushed the asset to support levels near $3,300-3,400. Investors may view Ethereum as the backbone of tokenized finance, but the chart shows a market struggling to price that in.

Ben Weiss is a crypto reporter at Fortune.
One of the marquee investors in crypto is making another big bet. The crypto arm of venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz announced Thursday that it had invested $50 million into Jito, a crypto protocol that supports the blockchain Solana. In return for the investment, the firm received an allotment of Jito’s cryptocurrency, said Brian Smith, executive director at the Jito Foundation, one of the main entities behind the protocol.
According to Smith, the deal encourages “long-term alignment” between Andreessen Horowitz and the crypto protocol. He also said this was the largest ever commitment from one investor into Jito. “If you’re accepting long-term alignment where you can’t sell for a while, then there’s traditionally some modest discount associated with that,” added Smith, who declined to provide specifics about the transaction.
Deals involving token purchases, or when an investor buys a stash of cryptocurrency not currently circulating in the market, are common in crypto. One of the most prolific investors in digital assets, Andreessen Horowitz has made a number of these purchases over the past year. These include investments in two other crypto protocols: a $55 million deal in April for cryptocurrency from LayerZero and a $70 million deal in June for tokens from EigenLayer.
Even though Jito doesn’t have brand-name appeal beyond in-the-know crypto investors and traders, the protocol is a key part of the infrastructure for Solana, one of the most popular blockchains on the market. “We’re intricately tied to Solana’s growth,” said Smith.
Blockchains are akin to decentralized cloud computing networks where unaffiliated servers compute data and process transactions. To incentivize these computer servers, or what those in crypto call “validators,” from faking transactions and committing fraud, validators must often put a certain amount of the network’s cryptocurrency in escrow. 

Crypto developers call this arrangement “staking.” For so-called proof-of-stake blockchains like Ethereum, validators receive a certain amount of interest for staking tokens, but, if they are dishonest, they receive a penalty and lose some of the crypto they’ve staked.
Blockchains require validators to stake large amounts of cryptocurrency, which can lock up a significant amount of a token’s supply. “Liquid staking” solutions, like Jito for the Solana blockchain, allow validators to essentially trade their staked cryptocurrency as if it weren’t in escrow.
Jito also lets developers prioritize how fast their transactions are processed on Solana, added Smith.
