📚 things I wish I knew before college Pt. 2 📚
✨Here’s the pt 2 of things I wish I knew before college… what’s something you wish you knew? ✨
• skipping class: so we all know that in college you can skip class to some degree, but my advice would be not to do it without cause! This is one reason why many people start failing unfortunately 😔 it becomes a habit for many, so don’t skip without a cause, or only do it on occasion (in my classes I can actually only miss 3 classes before my grade drops)
•partying: if you are one who parties, that’s okay! If you don’t, that’s okay too! Just remember, it’s not what you should be in college for! You also DO NOT have to party to be “cool” or because someone says so. It’s perfectly fine to be in college and not party, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise 🫶 (there are plenty of ways to have fun without as well).
• 8AMs: everyone dreads going to classes in the mornings, I know. I’ve had 8am classes all of college and honestly, they aren’t so bad after a while! Sometimes it’s nice to get the classes out of the way early and have a free afternoon. You can do it!
• Late or not at all?: when it comes to assignments being late, you would rather have them be a day or two late than not at all! Just like skipping class though, don’t make a habit it out it! It’s hard to come back from if you do (from experience)
• picking a major: when you are picking a major, make sure it is something that you love! This is a job you will potentially be doing for the rest of your life! Don’t just look at the money, look at your happiness as well! Quality >>> Quantity 💸.

As you navigate college life, understanding the balance between personal choices and academic responsibilities is crucial. One significant aspect of college is time management. It's essential to prioritize your studies while maintaining a social life. Avoiding excessive partying ensures you stay focused on your long-term career goals while still enjoying student life. Additionally, consider the importance of forming study groups. Collaborating with peers can enhance learning and provide support. Engaging in meaningful conversations about coursework helps reinforce your understanding and keeps you accountable. Don't forget to explore campus resources! Most colleges offer academic advising, career services, and extracurricular activities that can enhance your experience, helping you develop skills and connections for your future career. Remember, college is not just about academics; it’s about personal growth and making lifelong memories.
Emphasis on that last one!!
