      Everyone stresses about transitioning into school. Just stay calm and be yourself and you will be absolutely fine! Keep in mind that everyone is just as nervous as you!

    Don’t buy NEW text books

      Lol there's A LOT wrong w dating college seniors if you're a freshman in college. Completely different life experience and maturity level, etc I could write a book just don't do it they're likely just going to use you IMO

      melissa • Sierra Paul there’s literally nothing wrong with it if you’re in college at all. Not everyone matures at the same age in college and you’re all adults in a similar age range usually. A 22 year old male is usually at the same maturity level as an 18-19 year old female. Scientifically men take longer to mature than females, but there’s also an environment/personality factor.

      @@livi9591 If you're 18 and someone who's 22 is tryna get with you you need to sit back and really think about why someone nearing the end of their college years wants to date someone right out of high school. If it's completely innocent, then it's okay, but the majority of the time there's a different underlying reason. Maturity levels at the end of college and end of high school are WAY different.

    don’t just take random classes, make sure each credit you take goes towards your major. you DO NOT want to take classes for fun just cause it sounds interesting. that will be a waste of money.

    • @AmandaMonroe
      @AmandaMonroe  5 лет назад +20

      Yes good point!! I was speaking about gen Ed’s you need to fulfill like social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities but yes make sure they count towards your major and speak to your advisors before making permanent schedules to be sure you’re on track! 💞

    Overlooked tip/warning: if you’re not going to college close to home, you’re literally in a different environment. Like, ecosystem. You’re going to be exposed to new germs and allergens so be prepared to get sick easier or experience pollen allergies you’ve never had before. Also don’t go sharing drinks with everyone, like water bottles. This puts you at a higher risk for getting sick and being potentially exposed to meningitis which can be super dangerous if you aren’t vaccinated
