Sometimes going to class is just super worthless and you don’t really learn anything, especially a lot of gen eds. I would not go to my English class as often as I do if she didn’t take attendance.
0:42 - eat healthy. 1:42 - get to know your campus 2:30 - don't cram! 3:15 - don't buy new textbooks 4:12 - keep and use your syllabus. 4:47 - get to know your professors. 6:34 - BE SAFE AT PARTIES. 7:15 - make new friends!!! 8:36 - don't go home too often!
@@avaresio73 the don't cram part is what i did it's helpful to study in advance AS WELL AS CRAMMING just don't pull an all nighter wake up a few hours before the test to cram more info in so you'll be refreshed for example the test is at 8:00 AM ok so you could sleep all day and wake up at night and study all night till 8:00 AM that way you get refreshed right before the test and you are not sleepy
@@avaresio73 I did a cram and all nighter and passed my test but I'm in high school though Adderall and coffee could help you I'm not sure if weed can help memory ??
a good tip is taking the time and effort to build healthy eating and exercise habits during senior year of highschool and summer. its made me pretty confident about not gaining weight this fall bc i’m already used to healthier habits and won’t have to learn them once i get there
Solution to the #1 problem: Go to a college far enough away that it would be extremely hard to go home. For example, you wouldn’t want to have to fly home from a college all the way across the country because it takes too much time and effort, plus it’s expensive.
im about to be a senior in high school but im already watching college tips and dorm tours lol! thank you for this video because i learned a lot from it!!!
It's so true!! Going home is going to be so easy to think about but you have to push through! In the end it makes the process so worth it! I love your truthfulness girly!
There's a lot of people who don't know anyone either! During the first few weeks try to talk to as many people as possible and try to make friends during that time, everyone else will be trying to do the same thing, so it works out!
Go on your school page and don't be scared to message them! I am also a senior in high school and I've made many friends from my school's instagram. You got this!!!!
Hey girl! I’m going somewhere that I don’t know ANYONE either! I’ll be there this fall. I would suggest going on your schools Facebook page. They make snapchat group chats on there all the time just join a few or just post “hey who wants put in a snap chat gc? Comment your username and I’ll add you!” I promise you so many people will answer you. That’s how I made a lot of acquaintances! And then I’ve made friends just adding people on snap bc people post like little introduction posts on the Facebook page. Follow people on insta and add people on snap. Then you’ll see familiar faces in the fall and you can be like oh I think I follow you from the Facebook page!! That’s also how I met my roommate, and as long as you have a roommate you two can always go make friends together!!
Haha I already know how long it takes to get to my classes, the amount of time it takes to get from my bed to my desk.... gotta love covid making all my college classes online...
I've heard the recommendation to leave high school everything behind a bajillion times and I just don't get it. I'm proud of the things I did in highschool, and I literally (I mean that in the sense of actuality, not emphasis) cannot imagine my life without them. They aren't my friends, they're my family, and I'm not going to leave them behind just to ~~expand my horizons~~ or whatever. Networking is nice and all, but so is the love my friends and I have for each other. I'm sick of feeling like I shouldn't still be talking with them on a daily basis just because we aren't in highschool anymore.
Theo Wild i definitely understand this as i had a really difficult time with this too! I dont think i really explained myself well in that tip, and what i really meant to say is that you shouldnt be skipping out on opportunities in college to sit in your room for hours talking to your home friends. Its definitely okay to keep talking to them and stay in touch, and you can expand your horizons while still maintaining a close relationship with them! It takes a balance that was definitely difficult for me to learn, but i think by *slightly* loosening my attachment helped me breathe a little bit and made the adjustment a lot easier in the long run
just a note abt eating on campus: any food that nourishes your body is good food (hint: all food nourishes your body). If eating healthy makes you feel healthy then all the power to ya! Look into different eating options at the dining hall. But the transition into college can be hard and just giving your body nutrients is all that really matters. Don't sweat this whole idea of the freshman 15 and just listen to your body
Don’t be afraid to reach out to your professors and tell them. I did duel enrollment and I told my professors that I (at the time) am a high school student and they were so understanding
Im doing dual enrollment so rn im a high school junior but a college freshie (in second sem now) so its a but harder for me to do these but yea these are all def true
I’m a HS Sophomore, watching this for...some reason??? Still seems really helpful. Thanks for making such a concise video! I’ll probably be back in two years lol
i’m starting college soon and i’m hoping i’m gonna be able to go in person. if new jersey can enter phase 3 of reopening soon, i will. however, they have gotten rid of roommates, student activities/clubs, large gatherings and most in person instruction. i’m honestly really scared because i don’t know how i’m supposed to make friends if there’s no way for me to interact with other people, really. i’m hoping everything works out
tallulah pentecost tallulah pentecost i feel so bad for all of the incoming freshmen because I know things are going to be so different but I know the schools are doing the best they can to try to retain some form of on campus social life
EVS I think I'll always go home because there is literally nothing to do at college. I mean honestly, nothing. I go to a very small campus, and I am thinking of transferring to a bigger college which I have always wanted to go to! (The size isn't why I am transferring!)
I barely made friends in high school because I felt like I was competing with my classmates so I’m gonna make it a goal to get to know people in college 😊
I'm an incoming freshman at UConn and I love your videos!! In another video, you mentioned that you are a premed student double majoring and even have a minor, all while being a part of a lot of other things on campus. Would you be able to make a video on study tips/time management tips! (I'm also coming in as pre-med)
The last one really hit hard. I am going instate and decided to get a car and learn to drive but I think I could hold off more. I would of never thought of that.
This is like the 6th video i've watched where its been said to not have a vehicle on campus freshman year and I just think it's funny because I start college in August and I'm going to have a vehicle on campus only because the college i'm going to is 3 hours away from home, near the state border, and near a big city. Needless to say I won't be making a ton of trips home because 4 lane highways scare me and weekend traffic is crazy there.
This is making me a little nervous, I'm a freshman college this year, we'll be going back to school this 2nd semester, and this will be the first time I'll be away from home so I'm nervous, I'm introverted and have social anxiety too, I hope I can do this
Idk bout that last tip. On campus tuition is on average about 40k on top of normal tuition. Numbers are higher if you aren’t a resident of the state. Living back home is definitely more financially manageable than being that much in debt
My last tip wasn’t in regard to whether one should live on campus or not- it was in regard to students who are already living on campus. Its without a doubt that it’s cheaper to live at home, but for on-campus students my #1 recommendation is to not go home because it makes the adjustment more difficult
Oh wow I did not expect such a quick response. Sorry if I came off a bit bitchy. But yeah I been wanting to go to an out of state institution for the longest time ever and have the grades to do so. But I was disheartened after learning the cost of boarding and out of state tuition. How did you manage?
William Giron Im very fortunate that I got a lot of scholarships and am In-state so my parents were able to cover the majority of my tuition- honestly if you want to go out of state the best thing you can do is try to get an Honors scholarship if your school offers it and try to get tons of local scholarships that organizations near you offer!
Alyssa Varesio thanks for the info! Thankfully, my state university is pretty good (Arizona State University) and my family is willing to help. On top of that I may have scholarship opportunities and financial aid helping me so I’m pretty relieved that I don’t have to be as competitive anymore as the universities I wanted to attend were quite selective, So it relieves a lot a stress. Thanks for the reply and have a great rest of your day
EVSSSSSS🥰🥰I lived in ct the first 12 years of my life and then I moved to Florida and I’m a freshman in high school and I’m rlly thinking about going back there for college??? I don’t know if I should or shouldn’t but I feel like I should take the risk😬
The “not going home” part is a 50/50 cuz some people need to take care of their pets and stuff cuz the family aren’t doing enough. Your pet is alone for all that time you are away and they are not getting the attention they would need. So I think it is worth to come visit your beloved pets as much as possible and keep things in check in the household.
my first day is august 25th but i think I’m gonna LOSE the freshman 15 because I’m a commuter student in nyc and all the walking I’m gonna have to do is crazy😭
Baby Angel yes when i was a freshman/sophomore I walked everywhere, if it was too far i got an uber or took a zipcar! But honestly i never really left campus to “go out” shopping and if i wanted food i just went to the dhall or ordered takeout
Baby Angel i was lucky to have a price chopper that was a 10-15 min walk from my dorm but most campuses offer gopuff which will deliver groceries directly to your dorm building! My friend jess has a code RIES10 you can use for $10 off your first order, and you can also take a zipcar if your school has that!
it really depends on the school and dorm! some uconn dorms have a kitchenette but honestly most don't :( i cook when I'm stressed too so I TOTALLY get it- I would usually make one of my older friends let me use their kitchen, or I would use my microwave and try to get creative haha
Am I crazy please tell me it’s not just me I’m binge watching these videos because I move in next week and I move in a week earlier because of band lol but love the video
Idek what it was but like… the way she enforced #10 made me mad. “You can just loose the weight it’s not that hard!” Girl yes it is. And another there is nothing wrong with being fat she should be telling us that it’s okay to gain weight bc we r still ourselves not that it’s oky bc u can loose it. It sounds like she’s saying “ur not attractive if u have gained weight and are now fat.” Like… what? Maybe I’m reading into it idek
Hi! I totally get where you’re coming from- there are a lot of people who are really worried about gaining the freshman 15 and I was trying to ease the nerves surrounding that. When weight gain is caused by unhealthy eating patterns/behaviors and a stressful environment, that’s typically something that people want to avoid. However, you’re right in saying that whether you lose weight or not, you’ll still be your wonderful self and have the capacity for success :)
