Things I Wish I Knew Before College

1. Leave your door open. If your door doesn’t stay open, find a way to open it. I know almost no one on my floor and I regret that. 

2. The work is a lot different from high school. Make sure you have a study system that works.

3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. 

4.  I have a lot of anxiety and it is hard for me to meet people. That’s why I try to do one thing everyday that scares me like eating in the dining hall alone or sitting in a coffee shop for a few hours. I wish I had started this earlier because I can already feel it helping. 

5. No one knows what the fuck they are doing with their life. Don’t feel pressure to figure out your life your freshman year. 

6. No one gives a fuck if you eat by yourself in the dining hall.

7. Join as many clubs as possible, even if you don’t think you are interested in the club. I joined a couple just because the people seemed cool. 

8. Don’t rely on your roommate to make you friends. 

9. Bring more storage. If you think you have enough, you don’t. 

10. Call your parents. They miss you. Especially call them if you are the first to go to college because they are not used to this. 

11. Don’t spend all your money on the sims. Especially before midterms.

these tips are especially useful if you have anxiety (like me)
