    In today's video, I talk about 20 I wish I knew before my freshman year of college! I wish someone told me and emphasized these things before I stepped foot on campus haha. Some stuff can be applied to life in general, but I wanted to include them anyway :)

    1. Its okay to do things by yourself
    2. Don’t buy textbooks , pdfs are online for free
    3. Learn how to study & take notes
    4. Don’t take early classes
    5. Sometimes you don’t have to do all the assigned readings
    6. Pay attention to the class announcements
    7. Its okay to be undecided, you don’t have to declare your major freshman year
    8. Find places that are optimal for you to study, wherever you are most productive
    9. It is okay to miss out on some events
    10. Be ready to apply to summer internships and jobs
    11. Networking is very important, build connections
    12. Pay attention to the grade distribution
    13. You do not have to go to office hours all the time, however it may be helpful
    14. Set a good foundational GPA your freshman year
    15. Spend time with your friends while you’re able to
    16. Explore classes
    17. Save your summer money for college
    18. After each class, write down everything you learned
    19. Do research on your school ; etc : clubs, your major
    20. Do not compare yourself to anybody!

    Jumping on the point where you said to save your summer money, if you win any scholarships that are written in your name, save that money as well! I spent it on a laptop, which I needed, but I also spent it on dumb shit so I wish I had that money in my bank. Adding on top of this, if you receive refunds from your college save that as well and don't spend it on dumb shit, which I learned from my previous point.
    Another thing I wished I learned was that everyone handles a different type of schedule. What I mean is that some people can handle only like 2 classes per day while others can handle a full day of classes. Realize what you can handle personally and don't pack your self with so many classes per day.

      Yesss everything you said is facts!! definitely save those refund checks and honestly any money you get lmao and the last part is so true!!

    Do you prefer digital notes? I recently purchased an IPad Pro for college next year, inspired by one of your earlier videos (though I use Goodnotes). Im curious to see if you still like it.
    Also, "inspiration" is an understatement! I love that you're black, educated, well spoken and dedicated (while not lacking in the beauty/personality department at all). You can always count on my view!💖

    When you learn more things a way you can make another video like this is to maybe make a : things I wish about college at 19 or 20 or 21. Even for your rebranding idea maybe you could make a video about things you've learned at your new age while simultaneously doing something you like, like going through fits, or doing your makeup or baking a birthday cake, or maybe doing a playlist of your life in combination with what you've learned as a person.
