so a lot of you are in high school right now and for juniors and seniors especially ( but really anyone who is nervous) I just wanted to say college is a lot better than high school. Your teachers and everything who are like "they won't let x, y, or z slide!" are just trying to scare you TBH. by the time college rolls around you'll be completely prepared.
just saying that bc i remember freaking out about "the workload" in college and etc, but now that im here i feel obligated to tell you guys that it's all totally manageable, and you're gonna do great

I second what you said, june. I'm in college right now and it's not too bad. You have a lot more freedom when it comes to choosing classes and eating whenever you want. ^^

yes exactly this! ive been in college for 3 weeks now and the assignments are all reasonable and easily done. i remember being so stressed about the classes because they're "advanced" and willbe "extremely different from HS classes" but honestly it's actually been really fun so far and i havent had any complications with the work.

@ bee - goodluck !! are you living on-campus, or?
@ oh no i forgot your name [sweats] but basically the other person on this thread - yeah i totally agree. the freedom and ability to control your time management, schedule, and essentially way more aspects of your life make everything so much easier.

college is a breeze. now, i do want you to know that your first day might suck. mine did. i threw up and hurt my wrist because i had to sign document after document and go over boring sylabi, but once actual lectures/labs started? it's been a blast. and i was scared stiff, so if i can do it you guys can too.

I started college last week and while I don't yet have an opinion on it, I'm sure it will be better than high school because literally anything is better than high school.

my psych professor came in and started taking off his suit and tie stating: "you all are upperclassmen, I don't need a monkey suit to impress you like I do the freshman"
and i'm 90% my sociology professor swore every other word
college is so nice. the only bad thing is i'm a med student so my book cost total so far is like 490 dollars for six out of seven books.

I'm in my second week, too.
I have mixed feelings about college. Sometimes it's cool, other times it makes me want to go home.

Today in Biology, our professor kept referring to Legos throughout the class. :3
