40 tips for incoming college freshmen
- “I’ll sign up for morning class because I tookclasses in the morning in high school.” NO DON’T DO THAT YOU’RE GOING TO WANTTO KILL YOURSELF
- If you can,try to spread your schedule so it’s 9-5. It’ll get you used to functioning atthose hours.
- Go to seminars. Pick up on some random shit. Impress people with random shit. But don’t be cocky.
- There’s
literally no popularity so you really don’t have to fucking deal with cliques
or anything just find your group and branch out and go from there.
- If you’re drinking:
- POUR YOUR OWN DRINK I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH
- Have a cup of water (or a bit of Gatorade) between every drink. You’ll never get a hangover.
- Don’t be fucking loud. Everyone hates the loud drunk and you’ll get the cops called on you and that’s bad shit.
- Don’t mix your liquor with other liquor and oh my God don’t mix it with anything else like drugs that’s just asking for a crisis.
- If your buddy is in a really bad place call 911. Don’t be that douchebag who thinks that someone can sleep it off.
- DO EXTRA
CREDIT FOR THE LOVE OF FUCKING GOD NOT EVERY PROFESSOR OFFERS EXTRA CREDIT DO
THE FUCKING EXTRA CREDIT.
- College is
for expanding your mind. Talk to friends about their majors. Attend their
events or art shows. Talk to someone you met about their religion. Take an
English class on Lord of the Rings. Learn things you wouldn’t normally learn in
high school.
- Love might
come. It might not. Don’t worry about it and it won’t be a problem. You’re
young.
- Don’t be the
douchebag who plays acoustic guitar in the lounge.
- Have fun
because you’re spending a fuckton of money to be there but do your homework.
- There’s a general rule of college that if you were sitting in
that seat for over two weeks, that is your seat. Not many if any professors
have seating arrangements but switching seats will fuck everyone up.
- Get there early and stay late. As soon as you get home you
will not want to do shit. Stay on campus and do some homework while you’re in
the environment.
- SIT UP FRONT. The best way to start understanding something
is to listen to someone talk about it and you can’t do that from the back of
the class trying to listen over everyone whispering to each other. LISTENING
WILL MAKE HOMEWORK SO MUCH EASIER.
- Be childish, but be respectful. Have a massive snowball fight
across campus, but don’t aim for anyone not taking part.
- SHUT THE FUCK UP IN THE LIBRARY. Some people work there, some
people sleep there. It is a quiet space.
- Don’t be afraid to talk to professors. They are not there to
flunk you. They would rather you pass than not.
- IF YOU NEED TUTORING GET TUTORING DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU’VE DUG
YOURSELF INTO YOUR GRAVE.
- Get involved. It will help you make friends, give you new
skills to learn, and even help you get a leg up in the work place if you know
the right people.
- Take time for yourself—buy a planner, figure out when your
best study hours are, figure out WHERE you study best, and figure out how much
time you need to complete an assignment—AND THEN make sure to pencil in an hour
for video games, some time to watch a TV show, or time to just lay on your
floor and blow bubbles. Whatever you like. Don’t forget about YOU.
- SLEEP. EAT.
DRINK WATER. Don’t die. Caffeine =/= sleep. I cannot emphasize that this much.
- COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR INSTRUCTORS! If you’re sick, shoot an
e-mail and say “Hey, I’m sick today. Can I set up a time to talk to you about
what I missed?” If you’ve got a good opportunity (scholarships, to go to
another country, to check out a cool lecture, etc.) let your prof know ahead of
time. If you just need time to work on projects, all it takes is an e-mail. We
understand. I gave a student a free skip day because he e-mailed me and said
“Hey, look, I have two massive tests and a project due and I need the time to
study.” And THAT IS OKAY
- Before signing up for classes, look on “ratemyprofessor.com” and see if
the teachers at your campus are included. There may be two or more teachers for
the same course, and you want to try and pick the good/easy one. Who your
professor is can have a great affect on what grade you make, even for the
“same” class.
- Look for a facebook
group for your “graduating
class” set up, which is a good way to make friends and find people
with similar interests (particularly for introverts).
- Look for a facebook

- If no one else does it, make a google doc of the exam reviews
and post it on the class facebook page. That way everyone contributes to the
review. 200 brains are most definitely better than 1.
- During lectures, unless Internet is required, TURN IT
OFF. If it’s on, you WILL end up on tumblr or some other site, and you
will miss important shit.
- For the love of God, pay attention to your syllabus.
Sometimes assignments are listed there, and that’s the only place it’ll be
mentioned. Also, if it says to do a reading by a specific date, DO THE READING BY THAT DATE.
Otherwise you will get behind, and you will have 200+ pages of textbooks to
read in one night before the test, and you will cry.
- Yes you actually need to do the readings. Yes it is a lot.
Yes it will suck. Do it anyways.
- If you are used to getting all A’s, do not cry when you get a
B. Take it from someone who killed herself for two years to maintain a 4.0, it
feels like the end of the world when your GPA drops, but it’s not. You’ll be
okay. Just breathe and do your best.
Your best is good enough.
- Try to make sure you leave an open hour around midday so that
you have time to get food in you. A lot of people forget to do this. If you
have to have back to back classes, check your syllabus or with your
teacher—some midday classes allow you to bring in a drink and a snack. Some
will even allow you a full meal.
- If you can get an online/pdf copy of the book without busting
the bank, DO IT. Sometimes there are even annotated versions online. This can
make notetaking a shitton easier, because you can highlight printed-out
versions of the book and they won’t dock you on the money back. Sometimes
professors move through their lecture too fast for you to write stuff down.
Shrugging off that old ‘don’t ruin your books’ rule you had in high school may
be your only hope.
- UNLESS YOU NEED THEM OR REALLY WANT TO KEEP THEM TRY TO SELL
BACK YOUR BOOKS—maybe even offer them online to incoming students. You won’t
get nearly the worth of them but someone after you will thank you a million
times over for providing a used copy. If you take good notes, you can sometimes
buy/sell those as well. A lot of professors teach literally the same class
every time.
- IF YOUR PROFESSOR PUTS NOTES ONLINE GET THEM. GET THEM NOW.
TRUST ME. YOU WANT THOSE NOTES. Bring them in with you if it’s possible to get
them before class.
- Keep change on hand. Always.
- The Best Way To Make Friends:
- Bring a printer with you to college and offer to print people’s stuff for half of what the school does or for free if you can afford it.
- Carry around small candies with you and offer them to people while waiting outside of class. If you are the ‘candy person’ this gives you an in for starting conversations.
- Buy a jumbo pack of chalk and find an open sidewalk on a free day. Write the words ‘Come draw with me?’ and begin doodling.
- Have a pack of cards.
- If you go onto campus and you can’t find what you’re looking
for, and you are afraid to go up to someone and ask, find an open,
well-populated area, hold your schedule/map in hand, and walk in circles for a
few minutes, looking up and around in obvious confusion. Other students know
this body language well. Someone will stop and point you in the right
direction. (if you are worried that the person’s directions are a joke or
faulty, wait for them to leave and take up the stance again; if the directions
match-up the second time, they’re legit; do not allow a person to ‘show you the
way’ unless EVERY STEP is along an obvious walkway, just in case)
- For those of you who fear assault, most
campuses aren’t much for small blades or mace. Carry a pocket air horn or a
hand bag of those little pop-rock fireworks unless you can get a concealed
weapons permit.
- Make friends
with transfer kids. Chances are, they won’t be able to
live in the dorms and it’ll be ten times harder for them to meet people since
they have to drive to and from campus. It’s also fun hearing about their
experiences before the college you both go to.
- Make friends
with an older student. I’m talking about students who have
families and full-time jobs. You can learn a lot from them, and they honestly
have the best stories. They’re often the smartest and the most dedicated, so
they make great study buddies.
- Your teachers are people! Joke around
with them, talk to them a bit during break. Make sure they at least recognize
you as “that dude with the god-awful puns during break”. In my experience,
professors are even more willing to bend over backwards to help the students
they know. (But also, in general? They want you to learn! If there’s a way they
can easily help, there’s a really good possibility they’ll do it!
Just cleaned up this post ≧◡≦
As a college student, I can honestly say that this is amazing advice. Print it out, read through it once a day, and pass it on to others.
My favorite thing about John Green books is that you can turn to a random page and find something beautiful like “That’s the thing about pain, it demands to be felt” or you can turn to a random page and find a gem like “IT’S NOT MY FAULT THAT MY PARENTS OWN THE WORLD LARGEST COLLECTION OF BLACK SANTAS”
I’ve read that book! XD
Congratulations, you win: nothing
SO THE BACK DOOR IS OPEN AND SOME RANDOM KID HAS WALKED INTO MY HOUSE. HE IS LITERALLY JUST ROAMING AROUND THE HOUSE I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN RANDOM CHILDREN WALK INTO YOUR HOME?

i am a female.
i hope you enjoy reblogging one of the scariest moments of my life. i was in the same house a a four year old serial killer.

its socially acceptable for a random fly,spider or even a cat to come into your house, but imagine if a random dog or horse came wandering in
A random guy paid me a compliment and why it was okay
So, in starbucks today, a random guy came up to my and told me I was very pretty and nice eyes.
And, as a feminist, I was okay with it.
Because he did it correctly.
He stood four feet away from me and started out with “excuse me” and waited until I nodded before approaching. He then introduced himself and we shook hands and then he gave a compliment and went on his way.
He didnt catcall. He didnt harass. He didnt use inappropriate language. He asked for permission.
Take note, gentlemen.
remember when we were kids and we used to all sing that demented version of the barney song where it was like “i hate you you hate me let’s go out and kill barney”
i don’t remember ever doing this. you were a fucked up kid
i hate you
you hate me
let’s go out an kill barney
with a baseball bat
and a 4x4
