i’m about to be a freshman and i agree!!

Also DO NOT buy your books before you get your syllabus or go to the first class or the first real day, half of the books for the class you won’t use or your prof won’t even require you to have any books, also don’t buy too many school supplies or unnecessary things you won’t use most of it and it takes up too much space. Last side tip don’t go to parties every night during the week it’s not worth it and it’s not helpful... telling from experience❤️🤷🏼‍♀️😂

I already made that mistake lmao

1. Rate my professor is everything! 2. Making friends regardless of class size is great, especially if you have one that knows what they're doing 3. All my dorms were outside so.. 4. I do it, but its a good idea to not 5. Routines are everything! 6. For the love of God! Do not skip if theres no good reason! 7. Ya cant do it all love, have priorities straight 8. Be yourself 9. Please make sure you look at your assignments every day! 10. Look at your syllabus regularly and go to office hours

S AZ how is it going?

I'm about to enter my junior year of college (love watching these videos even though I've never lived in campus or anything haha). My biggest advice is don't worry, it'll work out. The friends you make your freshman year are not likely to be your friends forever, classes range from 30-300 people freshman year. Freshman year is about finding yourself, after that you can work on the forever friend part. Surround yourself with people who share your values and lift you up. Join a class just for fun. My biggest motto is: "If your schedule is full of required classes, you're doing it wrong." ALWAYS take a class just because it looks cool or it's something you did in highschool or it's something new you want to try. It gives you a break from the academics and you'll likely find a few interesting people in those courses as they tend to be smaller and more intimate. Also, TALK TO PROFESSORS. It's easy to be intimidated and nervous about taking to professors but most of them just want to see you grow. Start with emails, my first semester I emailed all of my professors before classes began to introduce myself and let them know how excited I was for their classes. It not only kept me in control of my first impression, it showed them that I was at least a little serious about their courses. If you're nervous in front of people, just email your questions until you are more comfortable. You can tell them that you're anxious, they'll understand and work with you. If you're living on campus (based off of what my friends have told me), learn to be okay at home. Starting my college career in my own apartment made it easy to say no to parties because I had to drive, that's different for people living on campus. It's easy to say yes to everyone and everything. Your priorities are school, you, and (if you have a faith) your religion. Also, get comfortable with your dorm supervisor. They are there to help you. Money goes fast. Campus cash will disappear in a month or two if you don't monitor it carefully. It's easy to feel like it's not real money, but it starts to feel real when you're eating peanut butter sandwiches for every meal the last month of school. Ask upperclassman how they manage their money. Talk to your parents about setting a budget or monthly allowance to provide cushion for that first semester, especially if you aren't working. On the topic of working, I HIGHLY recommend that you wait to start working until after your freshman year. I was blessed to be able to do that, my fiance was not. If you have to work that is perfectly fine, but you have to be proactive about being upfront with managers and your school schedule. You need time to study and time for academic help. Try to get jobs at places super close to your campus. Most managers there will try to work with you. Utilize academic assistance at the University. It's free, it's there, and it makes you smarter for asking for help before it's too late. Never go to parties alone and always go to a party with an upperclassman you can trust to take care of you. Every campus has different rules on alcohol and drugs, having someone more experienced with you can help keep you out of trouble. NEVER take a drink from anyone. It's easy to say you won't but once you're caught up in the party you went think about it. Also, have someone know where you and and know to call you regularly. Save ALL of the campus safety and bus numbers in your phone. You won't remember them when you need them and you may not have an internet connection to look them up. Have fun. College is an experience, make mistakes and LEARN FROM THEM. Participate in your classes, hang out with friends, forget to study for you midterm, cram for your final with five cups of coffee and end the semester with a 3.0 gpa. As long as your are always giving your best that day, you have nothing to worry about. Have a fun freshman year!

love, cleo thank you for the tip💛

Every semester i make a cumulative syllabus, where I take all my syllabi(syllabuses?) and create one big syllabus and color code it w each class. It takes a bit of time but during syllabus week youre not really doing anything anyway and it can be helpful to refer to everything all in one place

I’m a college freshman, (I’ll be at school in 3 months 😂), and honestly my biggest fear is getting caught into something that I don’t wanna be apart of, or possibly not getting something done that I needed to. College is SO intimidating and I’m ready but I’m seriously so scared 😂 your videos are great! Thanks for the advice!

While i agree with not letting people influence you is good, but you should also keep an open mind. College is the time to grow, form your own opinions, and become your own person. Dont let people negatively influence you, but also remember education is more than just class, its the people around you.

So I’m already in college but it’s community college so I’m still watching these videos so I can know what to expect when I transfer to a university next year and this one was super helpful!

The thing is with the “ rate my professor” app is that the teachers know.. and they “pay” the student to rate them good with extra credit and stuff.

Yes, especially those professors in the range of 3.3 -3.5 cause they are mixed of “1-star-awful” and “5 stars”.

You made such good points and I can totally say that these are super helpful! ❤️ ps: I made a similar video!

Hi quick question for office hours is it just one on one or is it a small group of people?

Why did I just graduate and I’m still watching these types of videos? Hahah

omg when I was watching this I thought it was Sophia pruett hahaha

I'm so nervous. What school are y'all going to

That first one is not for small schools lmao

what camera do you use

Hey Macy, what hall did you live in as Freshman at SDSU?

I just subscribed & is my first time seeing you. Am gonna be a freshman so I would love more Videos

wait I love this ps: im a small youtuber hehehe

Also....Why TCU? Are you from TX or CA? Just curious my daughter is an incoming freshman and is committed to TCU. We live in Wa for the past 7 years but she is born and raised SoCal and all our family is there. She LOVES TCU but also LOVES everything CA. She's finding herself torn between SDSU & TCU

all these comments are people preparing months or years in advance...i move in a week 😔
