Greetings, comrade LJ! I am about to start college in a month and I was wondering if you could bless me with some wisdom on how to survive my first semester! (Feel free to publish this tbh some other youngins might need the help too)

oh my god i am SO sorry i just saw this, tungle literally never told me i recieved this what the hell!!! i will happily give you some wisdom even if youve already started college oh man im sorry. hopefully this still helps!!! for reference im a biology major so some of this might not apply well to other majors lol

ok my first wisdom is to never get books unless you have to. these days, professors know most students dont actually use books so they dont bother really using the books for the tests...the exception is for labs (science labs, at least) where you typically will need to buy the lab guide to do hw and stuff. generally if you think you might need a book, wait a bit before getting it - even if the professor says you ABSOLUTELY need it. sometimes they just have to say that but you wont really need it. if you can, rent, and rent used! books are generally a waste, the way they get your money nowadays is HW access codes. yes....paying to do HW. how great 

ratemyprofessor is a fantastic resource, but do be wary of certain reviews - students can be salty about failing a class and give a bad review for a professor who doesnt deserve it. also, make sure you're looking at the correct class (upper left corner of the review) for the professor 

if you can, make friends in a class and work together on stuff (hw, quizzes), and then you can share notes if one of you misses class and stuff

in terms of missing class, id say its up to your judgment if you skip or not - it honestly depends on the class. some classes i barely went to, some i never missed. freshman year i barely skipped class (probably a good idea as you get the feel of it) but once you go on, you'll be able to tell if you need to go to class (generally if the professor just teaches from ppts and doesn't require attendance, you might be able to miss. depends on how you learn tho!) 

labs you generally cant miss (again, science labs) or youll like get set on fire or something. its bad. you can usually make it up with an excuse or if you know ahead of time, tho 

be friends with your professors and TAs! go to office hours! especially if you're planning or grad/professional school and want rec letters. altho!! dont stress abt future plans too much. you really, really have time. theres no rush to go to school after undergrad at all so if you dont have your shit together. DONT WORRY

this has probably become irrelevant for you but id suggest leaving waaaay early for your first day of class so you can find your classroom ok and get a good seat

free stuff is lit. get free stuff whenever you can. if you find a pen somewhere? take it its yours now

if you do well in a class and enjoy it, id suggest trying to become a tutor for it. you probably make some money, its not usually too much work, and you enjoy it if thats the kind of thing you're into. its especially helpful if youre planning on going into something relating to that subject someday, so then you can keep up to date on it

getting involved is also a good idea!! theres so many clubs and stuff at universities, so theres usually something for everyone. it can be scary going alone, but youll usually end up meeting people there. theres typically not too much pressure to keep coming consistently, so if you need time off from a club you can take it easily.  

libraries can be a great place to study dont knock em i sure did until like last year which was a mistake. imo focusing is easier in a library than in my room, that might just be me tho!!

cliques arent really a ‘thing,’ you might end up with a friend group or two but college is not nearly as cliquey as HS. i have a lot of friends now who i KNOW i wouldnt have even talked to in HS just based on the fact that we wouldve run in different social circles back then. dont limit yourself by thinking ‘oh, we’re too different’ or something, you’d be surprised how well you click with people you didnt think youd get along with!

cafeteria food,,...is usually bad. it tends to be a lot better when theres tours going on, so try to remember that lol

this is already so long im sorry lol, ill stop here but let me know if you (or anyone else reading this) have any questions or want any specific advice!! im a senior in college now so im basically an expert lol (though my knowledge is limited by certain things like being a STEM major, living on campus without a car, living away from home, etc) but i love talking about stuff like this!!!! i wish you the best of luck in college and again im really sorry i didnt see this until like 2 months after you sent it, i hope college is going well for you!!! and for everyone else who started recently!!! also ill tag you to make sure you see this, i cant remember if it alerts you lol @rated-r-for-grantaire

wait i saw in that tag game that you recently watched the wall? please share your thoughts i love that album/movie so much <3

aaaaah that's funny well i mean i know that u love that album bc u made those pink floating in the pool sam posts and i think somehow jules and i got to talking abt them and she was like have u seen the wall and i was like no and she was like we should watch it together and i was like yeah lets :) so i got the dvd from the library (bc its not available online anywhere??? semi-legally??? really weird tbh) and we watched it last saturday which was really nice - so you are actually like. one of of the reasons i saw that film! (i had also seen dan olsons review of the nostalgia critics review previously - which if you havent seen its very good)

okay anyway my thoughts well i dont know if i really have anything to say that hasnt been said already? and also i wanna preface this that i havent really listened to pink floyd in any capacity i mean i know Of Them of course and have heard another brick in the wall pt. 2 obvs. okay enough rambling i definitively enjoyed the experience even if it was weird at times (but i mean. its supposed to be weird and uncomfortable) and this wasnt a film i wouldve sought out on my own so im glad i saw it! i liked the interplay between the real life acting and animation even if it was a bit silly at times (the. the Evil Vagina Flower sure was something huh) and they had a lot to say didnt they! criticising the (english) school system, english nationalism and the horrors of war and the way it impacts everyone especially kids (when little pinks at the playground at the beginning?? and doesnt have a dad and tries to connect w this other dad? woof! makes the heart break!), police brutality esp against The Youths, increasing globalization/urbanization + human greed, the way pink is just. incredibly lonely? the whole time? and his (mental) health deteriorates + ofc the whole facism thing!!!! ("are there any queers in the audience tonight?" jules n i: hiiii :) "get em up against the wall!" me: oh uhm. maybe not). but some parts were a bit off putting i mean i mentioned the sexism and also the choice to interplay this movie w the dog thats named the n-word? like i guess (hope?) it was supposed to be critical but felt like. a bit much esp since there werent any black characters (or just people shown? i think maybe once or twice?). so yeah i mean i probably wont rewatch it anytime soon esp if i was on my own but im glad i did!

oh and to the songs i enjoyed most of them i think my favourites are comfortably numb (i like the voice thingy he does w the "hello is there anybody in there"), hey you (which wasnt in the film i think? or maybe im thinking of a different song), and goodbye blue sky (the change from the soft guitar part to the war part!!!) oh and also the dvd was like a special edition where they did theeeeee most w the movie menus like u clicked on smth and they showed a clip and elaborate animations of the new menu and there were "secret buttons" but they just played soundbites from the movie if u clicked on them? so definitively an Experience. wow i rambled a lot! so yeah please do feel free to add on and also share your thoughts esp if its one of ur favourite albums!!!
