@@baileyjerman5573 It’s mostly a college thing. High schoolers are referred to as 9-12 graders. But, if you’re not gonna use numbers we use the same names for both of them.
There is a person in my intro to marketing class that wears rainbow knee socks, a leather cloak, yellow crocks, and a non binary pride flag as a cape every day. There will always be someone with bolder fashion than you. People don’t tend to notice if you are wearing pajama pants or slippers.
@@elenas3571, there was a kid, whom even in secondary, dressed like it was the end of the world. Knee-length black socks, bright orange flannel, a faded Metallica T-shirt, a neon cap, and the brightest shade of blue eye-shadow that I've ever seen. I can only imagine what she'll wear to college.
The days I don't bring an umbrella, I find myself standing in front of the door, having a face off with the rain. Like if I stare long enough, it will decide to stop.
@@porkinhood6364 I live in a really really moderate climate, but whenever it's raining, its also windy at the same time. We rarely ever get rain on its own, so I feel you 😭
I actually dress up, blazer and all most times, because it is the only way I feel confident in myself. Eveyone elese question why tf I dress up, and keep telling me to chill; but if I don't I'm going to lose confidence in myself and slip into a bad mental state again... 😖
I have a question. Ik in high-school they have us take a bunch of classes but in college they say u should take less classes a day. Is there a reason? What was it like taking those classes back to back?
@@f0xtai168 Hello! College freshman here. College is really different from high school. In high school you have a full day with lessons and work time for a full year (typically). In college you just go to lecture and do all of your work outside of class (typically) for one semester (then you pick new courses for your next semester). This means that whatever takes a year to teach in high school, is taught in 16 weeks in college (it can be hard at times, but I have survived so far haha). It depends on the classes that you take, but they tend to be challenging. I definitely recommend doing concurrent enrollment or take AP classes to at least get a feel of what College courses are like (if you aren't already). For concurrent enrollment, some schools may give free tuition or tuition scholarships. So it is definitely worth looking into if your high school allows it. I am currently taking 15 credit hours which is basically 5 classes. One 4 credit, one 2 credit, and three 3 credit classes. Make sure to pick the course load that works for you. I hope that this was helpful. For more information, you should talk with a school counselor or get in contact with an admissions counselor at the school that you want to go to. Your college academic advisor should help you with with picking classes. College was scary at first, but once you get used to it, it can be a lot of fun! Make sure to meet good people, join a club, and go to some games. Good luck! You will do great!
@@f0xtai168 hi also a college freshman! super different experience from this guy- but back to back classes can be A LOT. HOWEVER- its not always a bad thing (as far as my experience). im commuting to college so its a lot more beneficial to take a lot of classes per day rather than them being spread out. my commute is about 35 minutes so being at college lets say (next semester) 8a to 8p tuesdays and thursdays is actually super great for me!! for me that opens up the ability to work again on my days off- and also have a free sunday off :) however typically you are not commuting (and youre also not an art major who doesnt get much hw minus art- which never feels like hw). so spreading out your classes is super essential! unlike hs where you can have hour classes back to back- you now have more like 3 hour classes. so in a sense youre getting 3x more out of a single class than 3 hs classes combined! its all fun stuff to think about once you get to college- but its really all about finding a schedule that works for you. best of luck in your future endeavors ❤️
I guess dressing up is not that important. But if your someone like me, then its very important. Idk why, but my outfit effects my mood. If I wear sweatpants, then Im not super happy or something. Its super weird. And I wont know what outfit until I wake up!!!
Yep, I always feel so self-conscious and uncomfortable in sweats. I genuinely feel more comfortable and like myself when I’m dressed up, since my style is an important part of my identity. I have a chronic illness that’s affected every aspect of my life since my freshman year of college. I now struggle to hold a pen, and had to drop my music major because I can’t hold a bow, my meds make me so foggy I’m not as smart anymore, I can’t draw or paint for long anymore either, and I can’t do any lifting without triggering my nerve pain. Some of the most important pieces of my identity are gone now. What I do have left is the ability to do some makeup and get dressed. So when I’m having an especially tough day, looking like the me that I identify with does make me feel better. I’ve lost too much at this point, I don’t want to lose the image of myself that the world sees too.
My first semester of college, I took 5 back to back classes. I thought “It’ll be fine!” My whole family was like “DO. NOT!” Yeah. I had a mental break down and now take 3 each semester
I once took 5 back-to-back classes on T/Th (my college does M/W/F for 50 minutes or T/Th for 80 minutes). That meant I was in class from 9-4:20 without a break. It was horrible 😭 But I didn’t have a choice in the matter. I can’t drive and my grandpa was always working on M/W/F, so I had no choice but to suck it up and go through that hellhole of a schedule. Thankfully, I have two online classes this semester, so I only have three classes on T/Th. I also have a break between my second and third class.
@@eatthebottle3297 I took 5 classes this sem and I’m already dying. It’s my first week. I’m about to drop one class. I overestimated myself🥲 my advisor said to add 1 more since I took 4 spring sem😃 she believed in me a bit too much. Plus I took classes in summer so I’m also drained from that💀
@@RM-kk1nz take it from me. Unless you need to graduate by a certain time, don’t take five classes. I was out of school for three years, so I have to suck it up and take five classes so I can graduate and go on to complete grad school before I’m 30 lol. But anyone else, don’t do it.
I showed up to college in a onesie...my bro and his wife had a medical emergency so we watched my nephew and 4 MONTH OLD NIECE...i said f-it and went in a onesie and slept for an hour. Thank god the work was easy.
I always dress up for class, for everybody like me in the comments who say they need to dress up to feel more awake and confident I recommend loads of jewelry if you do decide to dress down sometimes. That always helps me, rings, bracelets, shiny earrings or chain necklaces etc.!
The last one is so accurate. You could usually tell someone’s grades based on how nicely they were dressing about halfway through the semester (at least at my college). If they’re doing well they look like shit and if they’re not doing well then appearance is usually taken care of because something’s gotta look nicer than those grades lmfao.
I love dressing up, and knowing myself, I'll want to wake up an hour early and then think that's too late and end up waking up 3 hours early for school so I'll have plenty of time to get ready
the rain one confuses me. Like I had rain in my childhood, and I also never had a car in my childhood, so I'm kind of used to being prepared for it? The rest are very relatable though
Kids don’t think to pack one. I guess nobody thinks about how they’ll be walking 10 minutes or more to get to the next class outside. Most kids in the US go to school via the bus or car and their schools either have all the classes in one building or covered walkways to get to the outdoor ones. Never having to deal with rain during school makes them forget that will be an issue at university, hence why they don’t get rain gear.
@@Whoknows-mf1cv Well in Germany we mostly go by bus or by bike. But there are no school buses. You take the normal one and if you're unlucky you have to walk quite a bit. Also it rains a whole lot, like 50/50 almost. So you're always prepared for rain, except for in the middle of summer
@@naomif9964 yeah. It's the same in England. A lot of kids cycle or walk to school and we have to bring coats because it rains even in the summer. It takes me 35 minutes to walk to school and without a coat I'd be soaked by the time I get to school. Also our school is made up of lots of buildings so if it rains during the day we'll get soaking without coats. Also the fact that he said bring an umbrella is confusing as well seeing as it's always too windy and umbrellas break so easily. I never use one.
@@heidi4125 Haha yeah I have a pile of broken umbrellas cause it's almost never rainy without wind, and I always had a fold up umbrella in my school bag
I used to power nap between classes. Never felt refreshed and I’d be half asleep while walking across half the campus to my next class nearly falling off the sidewalk haha
The last one is me lmao 😭 Me over dressing and looking like a doll for the first three weeks and always retouching my makeup to using baggy sweatshirts, barely combing my hair and not even bothering to cover my dark circles with concealer 🥴
I'm currently an adult student who 100% prioritizes food and sleep. From *day one* I was only scheduling 4 classes a semester and making sure I never had more than 2 classes in a day. I'm here to learn, not die of exhaustion.
Great advice! This is coming from a junior in college. I always forget to bring or take an umbrella. It was terrible. And it’s okay to not dress up for class, yesterday I saw a grown man wearing a unicorn onesie. If he can wear that then y’all can wear sweatpants.
As a soon-to-be freshie, I’m absorbing any advice I can get like a sponge, so thank you for this! However, I will forever be stubborn about dressing up for class every day because I’ll be damned if I’m not the most dapperly-dressed mf in the room
This is all very accurate. When I was a freshman, I brought an umbrella a couple months in, and literally, on day one, I left it in a lab room and never saw it again. And yeah. Don't even bother dressing up for college classes. You won't find it worth that effort after a while.
I dress up at least 2 days a week because I don't have class in the mornings. But on the days where I have an early class and have a PE class, I will often just wear comfortable workout clothes. And take a nap in my car in-between classes.
After going through my whole life having to do class after class I ain’t gonna make my schedule like that. I need a mental break after each thing, maybe even add in a few notes I forgot or didn’t have time for. I also just need time to process the information before I’m thrown into the next thing
If you go to a place that is windy though, umbrellas are useless. They try to take you away like Mary Poppins, but you are too heavy and the umbrella breaks.
As the semesters go on I am slowly becoming more and more raggedy. Went from : wearing makeup, eyeshadow and all, nice outfit everyday, hair made correctly To : “I almost never got up from my bed but I managed to put clothes on in and brush my hair quickly in 10 minutes to leave” Sorry but waking up at 5 am and coming back home at like 7 pm is my death. Then I sleep for 15 hours straight and forget to study and then cry over my results to then do the same thing and I just want this to be over someone please save me please please I’ve been having exams FOR 5 WEEKS STRAIGHT I’M GONNA BREAK AND I’M TIRED OF LEARNING EVERY LYMPH NODE IN THE BODY 😭😭😭😭
College attire is so funny to me because I study architecture and we share the building with the faculty of design as well so you know, most people are VERY well dressed every day. But oh boy when exam period rolls around the corner… you will not catch a single person with brushed hair, makeup or even wearing jeans😂 it’s yoga pants, tons of caffeine and messy hair for WEEKS
I wore jeans to all my classes for the first week of my first year. I have worn pajamas to every single class since that day and I'm now in the last few weeks of my second year. No one asks, no one says anything. Sometimes people just quietly nod or give a thumbs up
Me, a music ed major: wait y’all have the choice to not have like 15 classes in a day. I have 17 credit hours… most of my classes are 1 credit hour each.
I did four classes back to back this semester (sometimes 5) and it was not as bad as people make it seem. I still would not recommend it but its double.
Another reason having multiple classes everyday is that your going to have a lot more homework than high school so luckily as a freshman I only have 2 classes each day right now
I like to dress up to class, I dress up like I just woken up, like I'm homeless, like I'm a skater, like I own a small business. The earlier the class the less effort I put into it and that's okay. Some of my friends go in pj's and crocks to class and honestly I don't notice until they point it out
I was taking classes from 9am to 9pm and I had no other choice. It was miserable. Explanation: As a graphic design major that completed my general education and got my associates degree in high school, I could only take advanced courses. In the art world, those were only lab courses, each being 3 hours long. So if I wanted to reach 15 credit hours per semester to keep my vital scholarships, as well as graduate in 3 years for cost efficiency and time (I already had 2) I had to do this. I made it fine with all A’s, but it was a fight every day.
