first week of college tips that actually help

hey yall just started my junior year and syllabus week is already a lot. i put every single due date in my phone calendar right away even the little readings and quizzes. it keeps me from panicking later. also only bought the one textbook that the prof actually said we have to have the rest i found older editions or skipped for now since theyre crazy expensive. campus library and study spots are free so im using those instead of buying extra stuff. talking to classmates early helped too for group stuff. what helped you guys not fall behind right at the start?

does editing my paper with ai change what turnitin picks up

hey everyone im a junior in college and ive been messing around with chatgpt to help reword some of my sentences in essays because my writing sucks sometimes. i write the rough draft myself then let it suggest better phrasing and fix grammar. but now im worried that turnitin might flag the whole thing as ai generated even if most of it is my work. has anyone tested this like ran the original draft and then the ai edited version through turnitin and seen if the score jumps? any tips on how to use these tools without getting in trouble?
