Hey lovelies,
I’ve been looking at a bunch of college advice videos and have collected several tips that I found super helpful. Here some of them are:
Create a routine for when you work on schoolwork —> if you’re used to working at a certain time, it makes it easier to stay responsible. Even for people who have trouble making themselves work, if they have a routine, it’ll become instinctive. It’s like brushing your teeth; it’s not really optional (unless you’re gross) so you do it every morning because it’s just what you do. Do your homework in the library, not your room. Also, studying in groups often helps at the beginning because it helps you see if there are alternate, better ways to study before you break off and study on your own.
Make friends within the first few months—> you’ll be really tired the first couple of months since the adjustment to college is really hard. People often try to isolate themselves during that time. However, that is the best time to meet people because it’s when other people are in need of a friend group the most. One person suggested joining three clubs in your first month (one centered around something you like to do for fun, one concentrating on something you’ve participated in since you were a child like a sport, and one that explores something new to you that you think is interesting or meaningful).
Be in communication with your teacher —> go to office hours when they are available. It’ll help you keep on top of things, and increase your grade. A good relationship with your teacher really helps you enjoy your classes and get the most out of the experience.

Senioritis doesn’t end in high school —> you don’t have to attend class; you don’t have to study; your parents won’t get mad at you if you sleep in. You can do basically whatever you want. You have more freedom, like when you were a senior in high school, but without the accountability. If you don’t want to do something, you won’t do it. It’s up to you now. One way to help this, is to find something you are actually interested in learning/knowing. Remind yourself what you want to learn from your classes. Try to find something that actually makes you passionate or gives you purpose. Find something to drive you forward.
That’s it for now, but I have more coming later. 💜💜

Hi, Abbie,
I completely agree with the coffee section. I, as well as Peter Adair, am a caffeine addict. But I would like to add that Starbucks is not the only option. In college, funds aren’t unlimited, and so investing in a Keurig is something I’d highly recommend.

I am literally so ready to decorate a dorm room, make food in a tiny little community kitchen and join clubs having to do with stuff that I'm actually interested in, since colleges have a way bigger selection of clubs than high school does. These are the vibes I want ASAP. Unfortunately, we have to wait 3 more months to take that next step :(
Hey Abbie,
I kind of needed to hear the advice regarding how senioritis doesn’t end in high school. I need to snap out of it and push through because college is a whole different world. I’m worried that the fact that I won’t be helps accountable for skipping class/doing work will cause me to lose my drive and organization. I’m just gonna trust that I’m self-disciplined enough to get through the end of this year and college in general lol.
