pro-tips for college
pls don’t feel like you need to rewrite your notes and make them pretty
if it helps you great! if it doesn’t you’re wasting time you could spend understanding the material. it took me a long time to realize that the aesthetic isn’t as important as the info. do what makes your notes productive for you!
you don’t have to study at your desk in your dorm room/apartment
you don’t have to study in the library
BRING SNACKS ALWAYS
be realistic about what you’re gonna get done
nothing is worse than bringing a really heavy textbook across campus to study and then not even opening it
really not joking about the snacks tho
water is good
i have a sippy camelbak water bottle and i can sip on it while i do stuff and i swear to god it’s a lifesaver and i love it
sleep
no really i mean it, sleep, i know pulling all nighters and cramming the night before will always seem like the best option, but a well rested mind is much more capable one
talk to your friends/family about stuff!
even if it feels like you have no time to, i promise it’ll make you feel so much better
always carry an umbrella
always carry extra pencils/pens/erasers/lead
if you have contacts/glasses, bring the cases, cleaning cloth, extra saline whatever you might need with you (i’ve had many a contact freak out, trust me being blind and taking notes is not fun)
don’t stress lol yeah like that’s possible
