Hey, I’m Jasmine. I’m 17 and I currently just started college like a month ago and I am losing my shit. (I.E. things aren’t going too well). So I’m starting a studyblr to be more accountable and just to have a community of motivated people doing really awesome things.

I’m a freshman at New York University (NYU)

Right now I think I want to double major in journalism and politics on the pre-law track 

Classes, I’m  taking this semester:

Writing 1

Class on the history of Egyptian Pharaohs

Political Theory 101

Data and Computer science class

I’m always looking into expanding my music library so if you have a playlist or something HMU. (for reference I listen to music like The 1975, LANY, Kali Uchis, Tyler, The Creator, Roy Blair, Brockhampton, Halsey, etc.)

I like to draw, and I’m currently trying to get better at digital art. So if you have any tips, tricks, anything at all send me a message

My main blog is @asoiis

My fav studyblrs:

a big sister’s college tips

wait until after syllabus week to buy your textbooks. they might not be required. it’ll save you money 

prioritize your classes by number of credit hours. more credit hours = bigger impact on your GPA. sometimes there’s not enough study time to go around  

if you wanna dress up for class, dress up for class. if you wanna pull up in the sweatshirt you wore yesterday, that’s okay too 

locate your classes before they start, so you don’t get lost on the first day. check and see if your college has an app of some sort with a campus map! 

old exams are more valuable than life itself  

set your class schedule as your home screen until you’ve got it down 

Chegg.com. you’re welcome 

carry a sweatshirt. it may be 100 degrees outside but chances are it’s 30 degrees in your lecture hall  

keep your syllabi  

write things down!! planner, phone, laptop, etc.  

sit in the front. go up and introduce yourself to your professor after the first day, say you’re looking forward to the class. build a relationship! Professors do not round grades for students they don’t at least recognize 

bring your chargers with you everywhere 

sometimes it’s easier to wake up early and study for an exam than stay up late the night before  

shower shoes. have you ever heard of toe fungus 

the dorms are bad BUT you will get through it (and make friends while doing it) 

there’s no such thing as a condom that doesn’t fit    

every time you skip class it costs you money. go to class. (unless you are dying or have no other time to finish something for another class)

your mental health is important. college can be overwhelming. know your limits. seek help if you need it. 

sometimes if you go to your professor’s office hours and ask questions a day or two before an exam they will steer you towards information that will be covered 

find your study space. the library is your friend  

parking is a bitch and a half 

it’s okay to miss your parents. call them. (they miss you too) 

talk to your advisor!!! let them advise you!!!

don’t study yourself into the ground. after college you’re a real life adult - enjoy college while it lasts. go out, make friends, if you drink, do so responsibly. uber exists for this very reason 

keep an eye on your drink at all times 

don’t feel pressured to go out and drink because college. it’s not for everybody  

on a related note: pedialyte is your friend  

don’t be afraid to drop a class that doesn’t fit you, but talk to your advisor first 

chances are you’re paying a lot of money to be where you are. party if you wanna, but do not let it interfere with your grades.  

you’re gonna get a lot of free stuff. take advantage 

if you can handle it with your class load, get a job. it’s a good way to make friends. 

it’s okay to change your major. really! 

first semester is easier if you get involved with something!!   

there will be weeks when you have nothing due, and then there will be weeks when you have 5 exams 14 assignments and 2 papers due all at once. take advantage of down time. work ahead!! make life easier for your future self  

carry a water bottle  

exercise will not only help avoid the freshman 15 but also make you feel better  

it’s okay if you’re not best friends with your roommate 

communicate if they are doing something that annoys you  

keep your dorm clean. the only thing worse than a tiny space is a messy one 

buy an umbrella

Friendly Reminder

your college application essay isn’t about how honored you are to be considered for that school, but a chance to tell the school why they should be honored to have you

[palaeolithics]

He’s really determined to stop me from finishing my coursework

[marystudies]

honestly most of the friends I made in college were in classes that I struggled the most in. people are very willing to start study/support groups within classes so that's a good way to get to know people! basically don't be worried if it doesn't happen right away, it could take a few weeks for people to get comfortable enough to talk to each other! good luck in your first year of college :)

thank you! :)

[marystudies]

You don’t go outside

I can’t deny this

first week back at uni / so ready to smash this last semester out 👊🏼

This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.

Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.

[noty0urdreamwif3]

I work to this quite a bit and I find it helps my productivity?

[stag-bi]

ive been listening to this for 9 hours now and i love it

[izzysblg]

This is pretty cool. 

[mathematics-maven-deactivated20]
