I think my biggest tip as an incoming junior would be: don’t feel obligated to go to parties, especially frat parties. I have only gone to one, and I felt very uncomfortable while I was there. I’ve found that I much prefer going to a friend’s off-campus apartment with a few other friends and drinking there. Find what you enjoy, and don’t feel weird or stupid for going against the grain.

Abigail Wallace lol i cant wait for frat parties. was the one you went to big?

Ok, good. I’m not the biggest party person

@seph6012 4 жыл бұрын

Abigail Wallace When I start attending University I will probably not go to parties it is just not my scene I would prefer stay at home and read a book or what a new series or animes or Asian Dramas than party but if it’s a once in a while get together off-campus with friends that would be totally cool to just drink and spend the night that’s it but once in a while I mean someone can not just not enjoy themselves a little bit

As a former student and current professor, I agree with everything you said! The way you approach your classes and communication with your professors is important! We often have some flexibility with grading and your attitude and professionalism can make a big difference to your grade. The worst thing you can do is sip class and then ask the professor if you missed anything important...

Also, take advantage of video lectures!!! As soon as class ends and you sit & review your notes, rewatch the lecture in your free time and correct/add to the notes you took for that day. This makes sure you didn’t miss anything important and you have everything down. :)

The freshman 15 comes mostly from eating out and drinking alcohol. If you plan on going out and partying, the best thing to do is eat healthier during the week and start a workout routine. A little weight gain is totally healthy and okay, but if you want to maintain the weight you are Id suggest creating a workout routine! 😊

I think I need to go to the doctor but then my grandma said it was because I am half Indian my dad’s side of family are all quite small so I guess it’s genetic and with my mum being small as well ahhh it can’t get any better

Completely agree on the last point! - get out from the college bubble once in a while. College can be so overwhelming and can be quite dramatic if you let your emotions get in control of you! Yes, go out and be reminded there is much more things that are happening outside of college that you shouldn’t be too immersed in college life to miss out on other things. Remember those who love you back at home! Balance is key and just enjoy life! love the video xx

MARGOT I love this video. I'm a second year student and I agree with everything you said, especially that you should get a part-time job because you learn so much - it's good for your CV to show you've had some kind of work experience, helps with networking and can improve your people skills. And also, other advice for uni is to try and participate in as many things as you can/go to events that are associated with your campus (obviously prioritize with your school work) to meet new people and make new friends.
